 CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
“Time and space heal themselves up around them and people simply remember a version of events
which makes as much sense as they require to make.”
—Douglas Adams, English Author
WHAT IS A
JUMP THROUGH TIME?
Power Rangers: A Jump Through Time is an
e
expansion sourcebook full of new rules and
information that explore the countless options in
time travel adventures. Whether finding an ancient
warrior hurled forward into the modern era to fight
evil, or a complete narrative arc that crosses the
pl
timespace continuum into different eras of history,
this sourcebook gives players and GMs of the Power
Rangers Roleplaying Game everything they should
need to do so.
This sourcebook contains many lifetimes’
worth of helpful information to incorporate into
m
your Essence20 Roleplaying System Power Rangers
Roleplaying Game campaigns, opening limitless
doors to action and adventure. Collected within are
exciting eras for your campaign to visit, important
Power Rangers lore, and characters from various
eras. These chapters give GMs and players many
ways to interact with Power Rangers history,
Sa
including how to involve unique and important
characters in their games.
Not just a collected source of new information
about Power Rangers history, A Jump Through Time
is a collection of brand-new rules, adjustments to
existing Essence20 concepts, and alternate ways to
play the game that takes time travelers and historic
scenes into account. Power Rangers series like Time
Force, RPM, Shattered Grid, and others have shown
the power and fun found in time stories and those
e
fil
who can travel within it, and this sourcebook makes
it easier to take part in those aspects in your games.
Even if your Power Rangers game campaign
doesn’t follow time travelers or explore distant eras,
this sourcebook adds new character options for any
Essence20 Roleplaying System game. New Origins,
Influences, Skill Specializations, General Perks,
and Grid Powers can apply to many campaigns.
Specifically for the Power Rangers Roleplaying
Game, a Jump Through Time introduces two new
core Roles: the Orange and Purple hues, giving
players new ways to start their Power Rangers
characters. This book also includes the time-shifting
Quantum Ranger as a new Advanced Spectrum Role
for characters looking to transform themselves into a
true warrior for righting temporal wrongs.
A Jump Through Time would not be a complete
sourcebook for the Power Rangers without a host of
new example Zords and Zord Features to help them
blast, slide, and warp throughout time and space.
Finding any new story in a greater narrative comes
with useful lore, A Jump Through Time adds to the
expanding Power Rangers setting with a complete
chapter dedicated to statistics and background
information on many new entities to encounter and
interact with throughout their adventures. Be they
new Threats, friends, or something of a mix between
the two, this book details many new identities to
add to your stories.

A JUMP THROUGH TIME
 POWER RANGERS ROLEPLAYING GAME
Respect for Time
Traveling Stories
The Power Rangers Roleplaying Game is
intended to celebrate teamwork, fun and
diversity while the Player Characters engage
in outlandish action. Using real-world history
can make that a challenge. Before you jump
through time, it’s best to ensure everyone at
the table is excited about any real-world time
periods you choose, whether it’s for an entire
campaign of play or just one session.
Time Travel in
Essence20
Time travel and manipulating events within
e
the spacetime continuum can be tricky and
problematic. In some media sources it can cause
more narrative problems and plot-holes than it
solves. To avoid time travel creating more problems
pl
than it solves, GMs need to understand and plan
out how the effects might affect their story in
the long run.
The Essence20 Roleplaying System is designed to
make the most cinematic and flexible fun out of
each scene the GM crafts with their players. The
cinematic focus makes some interactions between
m
the narrative story and the Essence20 rules less
strict than other game systems. Still, it lends itself
very well to the fluid and fuzzy concepts of how
time travel could function, what it could be used
for, and what ramifications it can have on a game
campaign’s universe.
While the options are as truly limitless as the
Sa
imagination, Power Rangers narratives using
Phantom Ranger sightings, temporal fluctuations,
and many of the Time Force Rangers stories illustrate
the time manipulation rules of the setting. The
following section explores guidelines based on these
examples to aid GMs when including the concept
of time travel in your Power Rangers Roleplaying
Game stories.
Transwarp Chronomantics,
Wormholes, Time Portals,
and More!
In Power Rangers, there have been several instances
where Rangers, Monsters, or both have moved
through the spacetime continuum for one reason or
another. In these examples, there may have been a
e
lot of science-like terminologies and explanations,
but there did not need to be any specifics given. In
a universe with giant Zords, monsters, and magic,
it didn’t take a leap of faith to believe time travel is
fil
an option.
No matter how unbelievable it may be for the
Rangers in each instance, or those created for your
specific game campaigns, the concept of time travel
is demonstrably possible. The narrative can use
any number of given examples that already exist or
create new versions to suit the particular story and
situation. What is important for the story is that the
Rangers, their mentor, or their allies understand
how it works in general terms. Attempting to fully
realize and quantify the science at the game table
is unnecessary. It can also lead to situations where
trying to make it realistic gets in the way of the fun
and excitement of your game sessions.
Radical Anomalies Occur
Even with the highest levels of Morphin Grid
technology at their disposal, including a massive
chronologistic computer matrix that maps and
maintains timeline fluctuations, mistakes still
happen that create radical moments, anomalies,
and potentially catastrophic ripples in time.
Some occasionally slip between the cracks in
the system, leading to strange happenings and
unexpected futures. Typically, this is why agencies
like Time Force exist; to track and eliminate these
temporal mistakes.
Not all of these ripples are true butterfly effect
events leading to drastically different futures by
causing a small change in the past. Some are as
minor as not being able to meet a person at a
specific place (“Wes is always here, every time I go
back.”), a minor change to a scene (“Since when did
Silver Hills have a professional rugby team?”), while
other events modify major elements (“My name
is Kim, I’m the leader of the Power Rangers. I am
Angel Grove’s Red Ranger.”) These sometimes-subtle
changes are exactly why time travelers do their best
