The Invention of the atomic blast, as well as the Half-dozen moon trips belong before "A martian Odyssey", which belongs third on the chronology. I will change it now for the sake of accuracy. Also, on page 208 of Interplanetary Odysseys, it states that the red peri takes place 150 years after the year 1930, so this also should be changed. 67.189.233.146 21:50, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
The chronology etc. of Flight on Titan doesn't fit in very well with the other stories, and dates mentioned in it should possibly be omitted from the timeline, or marked in some way to show that they are out of sync with the rest of the stories. It gives a different date to the gold crash of 2110 (which as described seems to be the same event as the collapse of the Planetary Trading Corporation), and changes the names of the first man on the moon and other details mentioned in A Martian Odyssey Most notably, the footnote to Parasite Planet seems to imply that there are already colonies on Venus in 2020. I think that this is a case of an author trying to remember what he wrote in earlier stories and getting it slightly wrong. -- Marcus Rowland ( talk) 10:04, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Forgot to say that I'm working on a Planetary Series RPG and in general the Wikipedia articles on it have been very helpful, for which many thanks - But I think that the chronology of Flight on Titan causes all sorts of complications if taken literally, so I'm ignoring it for game purposes! -- Marcus Rowland ( talk) 10:08, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Another problem with Flight on Titan; it's supposed to be set later than the other stories, but describes the discovery of the remains of a Titanian civilization that is mentioned in The Lotus Eaters. Marcus Rowland ( talk) 20:31, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
Just to let everyone know that Planets of Peril, the Weinbaum RPG, has been sent out to registered users and will be on line from 20th December 2010, along with a LOT of Weinbaum's SF, everything that isn't in European copyright. I'll post the address once it's on line. Thanks again for making the Weinbaum entries so detailed, it's been immensely helpful. Marcus Rowland ( talk) 23:46, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
The Weinbaum RPG is now on line at http://www.forgottenfutures.com/game/ff11 - I haven't linked to it since there doesn't seem to be a section for derivative works. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.6.107.93 ( talk) 11:07, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
