Hello,
I never posted any challenges, but does this interest anyone ?

The catch is to make a steampunk map of North America, in a world where Zepplins rule the skies.

The rules of the challenge :
+ North America circa 1900
+ No pods before 1815
+ Air Pirate bases/states

Personally, I don't see why this could not have been in the Pre-1900 POD section and was planning to tell you so. Actually, I've got an ATL that will produce a Western Hemisphere that may work for you.

There was alot of stuff written in relation to Steve Jackson Games' GURPS Alternate History and in their Pyramid Magazine that would also work. Not to mention the RPG Castle Falkenstein.

I'm glad you have larger definition of what is 'possible' and don't think of everything that is a bit strange as a ASB.

I share this same feeling, but I think the majority of the people of the board consider that everything is an ASB unless you can explain a very long and well documented alternate causal chain.

In the end I'm interested in this challenge for the graphical pleasure of having nice and suprising maps... if it means having to put it in ASB, that is a price I'll have to pay.

I hope this will not refrain you from making a map !
And for that matter posting a timeline with it !
