Fantastic game, just finished playing it recently. The story is more of an alternate reality than an alternate history or alternate timeline. It hews closer to a secret history type work, tying various historical and pseudo-historical events into an apocalypse conspiracy. I was impressed by how...

SOMETHING VENTURED, SOMETHING GAINED An American Community by MNPUndit On 2 June 1609, the Sea Venture left Plymouth Harbor to relieve the struggling colony of Jamestown. On board were 500-600 people, among them several members of the Brownists and Familists[1] and in particular a man named...

As it says on the tin. Could the great powers have actively divided up China and ruled the pieces as colonies, or did the nature of China itself make that impossible? Again, the question is not of whether it would be a good idea, but whether it was possible. Doesn't matter what the...

After the previous guy died in a crash, Speer was appointed. He saw the need to switch to a long-war type production economy and struggled to do so, changing a lot of things losing out on others etc. (for example he was in favor of female factory workers). So what if Speer gets in the position...

Ted Kennedy Richard Nixon The year, 1971 the task.... healthcare reform. What if Kennedy and Nixon had managed to work out the differences to get a deal to get a universal healthcare plan off the ground back then? How would things be different, what kind of plan would this look like? This...

Having seen recently the anime Chevalier d'Eon, I read a little about him over at that place where they claimed he offered to lead a female brigade in the early stages of the Revolution. Whether he did or not, my question is--things were desperate at the beginning and there was a spirit of LEF...

Yes, I am invading the After 1900 board with it now. What happens to AH.com in timeliness after the founding of the site? I am aware of one (WWW) mentioned on the wiki.

In theory at least, if the progressive had not run it could have been a lot closer. Is there a way for Sinclair to win, and if so, what kind of governing prospects does he have for California?

I've been tossing around another TL idea in my head and I was wondering, is it possible to restrain Japanese militarism after the Russo-Japanese war? It seems like they were several points where the non-military or at least less bloody minded retired-military could have gained the ascendancy so...

Osman II was pretty young, but recognized the growing problem of the Janissary corps. His intention was to create an ethnic-based national army but he was killed in a Janissary uprising aided by the various officials (most likely an in effort to save their own lives and/or restore order) in 1622...

Pulling an all nighter here but I thought I'd put out an idea that started rattling around in my head. In legend Alexander supposedly left his empire "to the strongest" though in the end none of the Diodachi proved strong enough. But perhaps there was a person who might have: Chandragupta...

I rather like before 1900 PoDs, and Raptor of Spain will continue on regardless BUT I'm starting to brainstorm on a new TL: It started because I came across a short clip of George Bush in the baseball booth and he... sounded like he knew what he was talking about, and certainly passionate...

Kind of sketchy on this one (for instance the Wiki Article is hopelessly tainted at this moment) but as I understand before Muawiyyah, Ali fought a coalition gathered by one of Muhammed's wives, Aisha who supported someone else as Caliph, and won. From what I've found Aisha seems to have...

I like reading Snopes.com and came across a rumor that they were redesigning the money to a very different look. Turns out, that these were an artists entry into the "Dollar ReDe$ign Project" that hopes to redesign US money so that it's more easily identifiable and because current bills are nice...

The Raptor of Spain: WI Abd ar-Rahman I became a Christian? OOC: First timeline and story, be gentle but firm. The timeline is a mixture of story scenes and broad overview. POD: Abd ar-Rahman I becomes a Christian. Also, to be clear the POD is actually 731, Abd ar-Rahman's Christian mother has...
