| Mar 15, 2019 at 14:25 | comment | added | Oblivious Sage♦ | @HeyICanChan A really good answer along those lines would examine all the scenarios for some sort of inconsistency between them; for example, if one scenario references a threat that first appeared in 1450 (just making up years) and another references a threat that was defeated in 1420, then obviously they couldn't happen at the same time. However, I actually play BaBG, and I would prefer not to spoil all the scenarios by reading them. | |
| Mar 15, 2019 at 14:04 | comment | added | Biomage | I would have thought the usage of the Bhaal deity in and around Baldur's Gate may help locate whereabouts in FR timeline the game could take place, as it is not a permanent figure in the FR universe. My suspicion would be that it takes place in either in the year 1482 or at some point in the 14th Century but I am unsure. | |
| Mar 15, 2019 at 14:00 | comment | added | Oblivious Sage♦ | My suspicion would be that not only is BaBG not canon, the people who made it paid no attention to the timeline. Further, the "Betrayal at..." games present large numbers of minimally fleshed-out scenarios that have few, if any details that could be used to locate them in a larger context; that is, BaBG is about things that could happen in Baldur's Gate at pretty much any point in time, as long as the basic requirement of "there exists a city named Baldur's Gate" is met. | |

Focusing the question to make sure it is appropriate for this stackexchange

Edit: In a push for this question to remain open amidst wholly appropriate criticism, I would like to add the following
|
| Mar 15, 2019 at 11:02 | comment | added | Mołot | I voted "Leave open" because even if it is about a board game, it also is about its effects on RPG games timeline and canon. | |
