Not my idea, but the Thursday Next novels are Literaturepunk. A world where reading is serious bloody business, with a special police force within fiction itself to ensure the stability of the written word. As for a Moogi Original idea, Fezpunk: a world very similar to our own... except that...

See title. The Maccabean Revolt and the surrounding cultural clash between Judaism and Hellenization pretty much changed the face of Judaism forever (and by extension, those faiths that derived from Judaism). So, what do you think would have happened had the revolt not taken place? Had the...

Sadly, my laptop doesn't have the right graphics thingy to run Vicky 2. Shame, since I have Europa Universalis 3...

Just because it's a video game doesn't mean that it shouldn't be intelligent. I, personally, would love to play a theoretical WWIII game with a logical and realistic storyline.

It's not exactly 'true' AH, but Atomic Robo has some AH-ish elements in it, though they're not usually at the forefront. History itself remains more or less the same, but there's a lot of little bits influenced by the fact that pulpy superscience works in the setting. For example, one of the...

Personally, I consider the EndWar story to be So Bad, It's Good. It's ridiculous, improbable, contrived, and hilarious. I love the fact that Russia starts this huge war for no real reason other than the lulz. :D A better challenge would be making EndWar realistic.

Oh god, I haven't groaned that much at a pun in ages. I approve.

I'd like to see a Trek/Wars crossover that doesn't devolve into a war between the two universes. Maybe get them to form a grudging alliance or something, to fight against the ominous threat of Borg-assimilated Yuuzhan Vong.

Oh, I wasn't in that war. I just wanted Spain to do something beautifully ahistorical, since they were doing so well.

Can't help you there. The mod creator is a regular on civfanatics- he should be able to help.

I really wanted to write a TL about this subject, but I know very little about the Napoleonic Wars save what has filtered to me through fiction (which is usually inaccurate), so I don't think I can do the concept justice. I read about Nelson's campaign in the Mediterranean a few weeks ago in...

[Professor Farnsworth voice] Good news, everyone! [/Professor voice] I just played for several hours yesterday. Now at 1491, and there have been a few changes. For one thing, I beelined for a new Idea, and was thus able to train my first Explorers and Conquistadors at about 1470. By the...

This thread serves two purposes. The first is for those of us who come up with interesting AH scenarios, but do not have the time or energy (or knowledge about a particular area of history) to make a new TL or story about them. This thread gives us a chance to post these concepts for others to...

Holy crap, I haven't been this proud to be one-quarter Welsh since Christian Bale was cast as Batman. I haven't played for about a week, but I'm in the 1460s (I don't generally have much time to play these days). As France, I've expanded to pretty much all of the country's modern borders, save...
