Encyclopedia Anachronistica

The Encyclopedia Anachronistica is the companion reference for Time Rift, designed to give players and students quick, punchy insights into the historical figures, artifacts, and events featured in the game. Rather than presenting dry textbook entries, it blends accurate historical context with pop‑culture energy, making each card’s background accessible and engaging. The encyclopedia helps situate Champions, Artifacts, and Events within their real-world timelines, while also sparking creative connections across cultures and eras. Importantly, it is presented in a safe, school‑friendly location, ensuring that students can access reliable historical information without encountering the adult or off‑topic material that often leads schools to block sites like the wonderful resource of Wikipedia. In practice, it serves both as a lore book for gameplay and as an educational tool, scaffolding classroom activities with concise, memorable explanations that invite debate, synthesis, and imaginative mashups.
