The Clockwise World There are many circumstances and unexplained phenomena that can be offered a plausible and physically possible situation. What happened 1.5 million years before the present day in this alternate timeline was not among them. The world of the early Pleistocene was a time...

Prologue From the balcony of the palace, the fire raging across the city wasn't so bad… so long as he didn't look up at the sky to see the giant flaming rainbow which constantly rained down burning raindrops… or look at the streets where a herd of rampaging warnicorns were currently running...

It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor has stood vigil through the Astronomican. He is the Master of mankind by the will of the gods, and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power...

The wind is blowing. I can hear it's gentle breath. It tickles my ears and it ruffles my hair. It reminds me that I still live, in this little garden of sin. The wind is blowing. It whistles and it howls. It speaks of carnage and chaos. It is a gentle calm before a storm. A catastrophe that...

A/N: So in order to bring attention for my in-progress novel, the first draft of which you can read chapters from here, I am posting the world-building notes I have drawn up for the revised setting, which basically amounts to a brief timeline of the world up until roughly 2082. I won't pretend...

The Roboutian Heresy Marcus charged the daemon of the Changer of Ways, his sacred blade risen and ready to bit into the abomination's flesh. The winged creature was covered in the fire of his battle-brothers' bolters, but what would have rent even a Terminator Armor to shrapnel was barely...

Note - this was originally written for the Sea Lion Press vignette competition with the theme of 'two-fisted tales.' The resemblance to early twentieth-century pulp stories is very deliberate. The two American guards stood on the walls of the camp, looking for any sign of trouble. They had...

Back in early 2020, I joined a fictional Nationstates Roleplay in an amino community I was in along with a friend. For the roleplay I conceived a somewhat generic Filipino state known as The Kingdom of Greater Tagalog. As the roleplay went on, this fictional state would eventually merge with my...

Date a Live: Another Life He'd never forget that day. It was Monday, April 4, 2050. It had been the first day in a new year of University, to slave away for a degree to (maybe?) get a hold of one of the increasingly scarce human jobs left. After the introductory period for one of his classes...

You feel the cold wind coming down from the mountains buffet you, providing a contrast to the burning in your legs from having perched on this outcropping for so long. You'd call it nice, if you were allowed to appreciate the feeling, but instead you breathe deeply and both the chill of the air...

I am currently (December 2023) trying to finish the reports for Turn 3. After the holidays I will not have enough time to run a game of this scope properly as a GM (or a sole GM), but I'm trying to gauge interest in a revival, reboot, or a game inspired by the concept of merging Earths from two...

Freedom is an explosion. It rocks your prison of interminable years, rocks the floor of the temple where the idols of stolen gods languish alongside you, rocks the footing of the silver-haired priests who give mocking libations to these lesser, collared deities. With the sight-that-is-not-sight...

@ForgottonFuture @KnightDisciple @sg-epk.jtk93.x29 Innerpeace is quite literally littered with corpses, those of mavericks, and those of the unfortunate civilians caught in the massive surprise attack. One that the Guardians had just barely managed to repel before reinforcements had arrived in...

Pitch A Narrative RP where one plays as a "Megaman" in an alternate timeline of Megaman ZX where Ciel handed out the biometals to her chosen champions, and they've since kept them safe. She then, as with canon, fled, Serpent having been corrupted by Model W as per canon, then defeated by the...

Preface Howdy! Just a few notes before we get started. I explained this project to the mods, who have tentatively allowed me to post here. This is a timeline very heavily based on a work published on alternatehistory.com by user Giobasta. Let me lay out the backstory on that... I read...

Crossposting this from AH. I've been working on a guide to various technologies, reforms, concepts, locations of natural resources, etc. that could be used as a shared resource and index for people looking to write an SI, whether that be a reincarnation Isekai or an ASB alternate history...

Inspired by various Reddit threads and far too many games of Crusader Kings II, this quest explores what would happen if a Sufficient Velocity hive mind hijacked a major character from the A Song of Ice and Fire series. With unfettered knowledge of the future and complete control over their...

The world of a shinobi is a dangerous one. In this world a child grows and learns the art of a soldier, learns to bring death upon those his commanders deem their, and by extension his enemies.

The day before you set out to save the galaxy for the first time, Ashley Williams read you a poem. Reflecting on how Tali’s damning evidence against Saren had been uncovered from just a few stray pieces of geth hardware, she’d quoted to you a famous verse about the loss of a single horseshoe...
