But right before you should have...

The Beagle Conflict The continent of South America lives in a series of cycles, cycles of prosperity and decline, heavily dependent on the worldwide economic situation and the nations always keep track of the prices of commodities and more often not economic crises are the reason for a...

I recently came across this thread on alternatehistory.com. I was highly intrigued by the idea of an alternate history game of Telephone. It looked very fun. Unfortunately, I am one of many who have been banned on alternatehistory.com. Luckily, I'm not actually banned on Sufficient Velocity. So...

Governor. I am glad for the trust put in me, and gladder still to have your ear. So it saddens me to write this letter. But it would sadden me more to believe you a fool, sir. I was raised not a liar, but a believer in the pursuit of Truth & Rationality. Yet here I am, at the helm of a...

The scenario: Germany is in the middle Kiel mutiny and WW1 is basically lost. Worker and Soldier Councils are taking over most cities and there is the very real danger that the Revolution is going to boil over into a full blown Bolshevik style "Social Revolution". The Kaiser is in the German HQ...

The Lone Star Republic is a bitter enemy of the much maligned New Californian Republic. This is an alternate universe where both states are basically their own countries, and for some Twilight Zone reason the rest of the country doesn't exist. California wants America, and Texas wants America...

Here we go again… Welcome to Shadowed Memoria III: Revenge of The Ship! After the original by me died out due to me getting grounded, and the reboot by Ash, died horribly, I decided to restart yet again. So let’s just jump into it~ So the basic concept is Amnesiac ships either due to GM fiat...

"On the Eve of Columbus' voyage, Old World and the New World are separated by act of ASB onto separate Earths, moons to one another." In detail, the Americas, Australia and Sub-Saharan Africa are now on another Earth. There are now two Earths, a double planet, with one Earth containing...

By act of ROB/ASB, The Jedi Temple from Star Wars (specifically the Legends continuity) finds itself being suddenly relocated from Coruscant and grafted onto the Earth of September 5th 1946, specifically in Germany, near the city of Hanover. The ISOT happens just before the beginning of AOTC...

For the briefest of seconds, you're struck by the beauty of the world you call home. This far out from the Central Islands, the view out of your fighter's cockpit is unobstructed by larger islands. The sky stretches endlessly above you, a clear blue that hints at the deeper blue beyond. Beneath...
