Technology Levels

Chimera’s multi-genre framework supports ten Technology Levels (TL) to describe the relative technologies that exist in various campaign settings.

Tech Levels can be loosely described via their Earth analogues, as shown below:

TL 5 Imperial 18th century
TL 6 Industrial 19th century
TL 7 Modern First half of 20th century
TL 8 Post-modern Second half of 20th century
TL 9 Near-future 21st - 22nd century
TL 10 Far-future 23rd century and beyond
