That pen is by far the most obscure time travel-related reference.

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

Roll to Time Travel - Turn Zero: In the Beginning.

Roll To Time Travel!
Turn Zero: In the Beginning

"The Time Convention. A stasis bubble held in place 10 minutes or so before the Big Bang. It's like someone took a convention center and placed it, and all of the streets within a half block radius, in absolute nothing. Or, at least, that's what it would look like from the outside. If there were an outside. The time convention technically exists before there was any time, and only the founders (who could have come from any point in history) know how it works. The Time Convention is one of two meeting places for time travelers (the other one is the Apocalypse Cafe, which is stuck 10 minutes after the heat death of the universe) so it's natural that every time traveler ever is/was/will be here. Due to some fancy temporal technobabble, nobody is ever in the TimeCon twice at the same time, and you always return exactly when (relatively speaking) you left. You all came here for different reasons. Maybe money. Maybe babes. Maybe adventure. But you're all here."

The orientation guide stops speaking, and opens the doors to the Con. Taric lurches slightly as he goes in, still recovering from the Time Vodka's aftereffects. Adrian walks in like he owns the place, since he probably does (or at least most of the stores). Ric is constantly taking pictures with his cheap disposable camera, and annoying the hell out of Edward, who is probably seeing where the nearest jewelry store is. John is walking calmly along, happy that he got such a great deal on the 1650 Irish whiskey in his backpack. The entry hall is huge, with seven levels of stores selling things from all periods of time. On part of the ground floor you can see alone, there's a computer store, specializing in pocket AIs, a museum of anachronisms, cataloging where in history temporal maddling has been documented, and three restaurants, including one that vat-grows cloned celebrities and cooks them.

Go into that one restaurant and order some deep fried 'Justin Bieber'. Best dish in the chronoverse.

Check the AI store's stock.
(4-1(Drunk)) You find a pocket A.I. assistant, on sale for only 75 TCUs! Which is more than you can afford. You might be able to haggle with the chick at the counter to get a discount though.
Temporal meddling, that should be interesting.
Check that shit out. ask if there really is a Hitler time travel exemption act.
(3) Well, you don't find anything that cool, but there is a great demonstration on paradox avoidance, and you gain some knowledge from that. (+1 on all future paradox avoidance rolls)
Wander around, attempt to find something secret and cool
(1+1 (Thrill-Seeker)) Well, you don't find anything, but at least you remembered not to jump into that garbage chute. They have incinerators here, you know.
Go into that one restaurant and order some deep fried 'Justin Bieber'. Best dish in the chronoverse.
(4) Mmm... Beebs... It does cost 25 TCUs, but it's delicious! +1 on next roll!
-25 TCUs (not like that matters)
Go to the archives and search for some lost treasure info.
(6) You find the museum library AND the "lost treasure" section easily! (5) You read about the time-ship "the Persistent Myth," said to have been lost on reefs of Chrono-Coral of Massachusets sometime in the year span 1000-1050! It was apparently carrying nanobots from the 36th century to a Cretaceous outpost. In the Standard Timeline, the nanobots were released accidentally and devoured a large chunk of Nantucket, but there is a reward of 1000 TCUs offered to whoever can stop them from being released!
