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 Since you're working with the current state of IaLR, the game will probably be outdated in a few years. Consider this: If you or I had made an IaLR two or three years ago, it would be terribly outdated right now with how much IaLR has changed.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.
