Also, just in case I'm dumb, by September 25, our characters should have experienced about a year's worth of time IC then?

Not nessescarily, since that would needlessly box people into a weird constraint. The Year One subtitle is only meant to reflect where the characters are at. [i]Where[/i] in that first year is entirely up to the player.

[@Master Bruce], what do you mean by season? Like the overall Year One roleplay or just the Silver Surfer storyline/arc/whatever-you-call-it?

Season basically means chapter, or overall arc across the board. Once this season, Year One, is concluded, we move to Year Two and the ballgame changes somewhat. How it changes will be an open topic of discussion closer to the date, but I imagine there'll at least be a small time jump involved at the very least.

Silver Surfer may or may not guide the season to that point, but that's still in the planning stages.
