I'll wait until the full timeline before deciding when my stories take place. I don't think 2025 is a good idea. Since you're working with the current state of IaLR, the game will probably be outdated in a few years. Consider this: If you or I had made an IaLR two or three years ago, it would be terribly outdated right now with how much IaLR has changed. Considering this, the game might not resemble at all the IaLR we might have in 2025. It's best to have the game take place in 2019, which is where the timeline is currently at. We have no idea how much IaLR may advance later on, so it's best to have it take place in the present. That, and black crystals won't be the same in the near future, thanks to something that'll happen during the HoEC Season 5 Finale. Yeah, I guess it was kind of silly to decide a date so soon. However, I'd still like to have it take place after the events of the roleplay, as the gang will be out of the rooms by that point. If it takes place around the same time as HoEC, which IIRC is sandwiched between Season 2 and Season 3 of the main series, that means one of the plot points I have won't work, since during that time, Robin is stuck with Spyro, Shadow and Shadow Assassin, but in the RPG, Robin was with most of my other characters at the time.

But what do I know? I can't even draw a goomba properly for the RPG. Well, to be honest, the gang isn't trapped inside the rooms anymore. All of that changed after the Season 3 Finale of HoEC. Captain Dark Shell's power and dark energy had an impact on the Locked Rooms. Now the gang can enter them and exit them more easily. In fact, Time Turmoil just explained all of that, as it had the gang already out of the rooms, but then just re-enter them when they learned villains were searching for the black crystals. Nowadays the gang isn't inside the rooms the same way they were before HoEC. I'd like to say that you can have it take place during Season 3 of IaLR, since it gives you the most freedom to work with. You can simply put that the plot points you wanted to happen will take place soon in Season 3 of IaLR. Oh. I wasn't aware of this change. I definitely will not be a big supporter of the change, but I'll keep it in mind for any future stories of mine.

I guess it resolves the whole problem with the RPG not being able to take place after the main IaLR series, since turns out it wasn't a problem in the first place. But it still provides an issue, since one of the plot points I have in the RPG requires the Shadow Team to have reunited with the locked room gang, which means I would have to resolve the plot early. Don't want to do that, but for the sake of the RPG, I'll probably have Return of the Robot Queen, which is meant to close the Shadow Team saga, take place early into Season 3 if possible. Sadly, with the roleplay being pretty much set to a standstill with Corporate Sellout being stuck in place, not sure if I can get it out in time.
