You open your eyes to a foreign skyline. Orange-red dust fills the air, making it nearly impossible to see the bleak grey sky, far above you. The air here is dry, yet lukewarm. You realize that you are lying flat on your back, with hard rock under you. You think that it's daytime, but you're not...

Franz Joseph dies in late 1915 and Karl gets on the throne earlier than IOTL. Just like IOTL he doesn't get along with Conrad and quietly sends him off to the Italian front in February 1916. A-H gets a new (more competent) military leadership that avoids OTLs mistakes. The new leadership avoids...

Reincarnation. It's a funny thing, really. You feel your senses deteriorating, your consciousness slipping away into the void, when you suddenly feel okay, capable of doing anything you wish... except not really. You find yourself in a world not your own, sometimes in a body not your own, and...

So, I recently had a conversation with an acquaintance on Discord which was rather upsetting. Apparently, they attempted to sign up under the user name ApexUltimo and were blocked from doing so, with the message saying their ISP was banned due to a history of spamming. They tried sending in a...

Empire Des Egaux The year is 1810 France rolls about in her sleep while her children bicker around her. The last crowned heads look East and South, towards the untouched lands therein. Albion burns. The children of Africa fight tooth and nail with the first Republic and the children of...

Empire Des Egaux The year is 1810 and Marianne proudly rules over the conquered continent of Europe. The last traces of the ancien regime west of the Elbe and the Danube have been destroyed, the musty old monarchies of Austria and Prussia forced into retreat. In France the failure of the...

OOC Thread Welcome to the Iron Rose Empire, a land of mystery and intrigue. Divided into six provinces, the Empire is currently on the precipice of some major societal disruption. Let's meet the relevant actors and take a look at the Empire's various provinces, shall we? Provinces & Locations...

Character Creation 1 You were always seen as the hope for the future, for the Empire of America that is your home. The moment you were born, the stars aligned, your mother wept in happiness and your father nodded in pride. As you grew, you were showered in the attention of the court, their...

IC thread For 300 years, the Iron Rose Empire has been mostly stable. Existing on the northern continent, away from any foreign interference, the Empire had remained as it was founded for centuries: a feudal coalition ruled by six elector princes, united by a figurehead of an emperor. Still...

Charecter Creation Part 1 America. A land of infinate possibilities… From her first colonies at Jamestown, Plymouth, St. Augustine, her untamed wilderness teamed with game, pelts, land, and danger. And wealth beyond imagination. It was a land unlike that of Europe, and your father's father...

What if the unsuccessful Revolution of OTL picks up more steam and seriously threatens the Tsar? What could be the causes for a stronger Revolution? The implications of a Civil War in 1905 are huge. This is a perfect POD to seriously change the power dynamic in Europe. WW1 is potentially...

Revolution has come to Rothania! The Rolthanian Liberation Front, an alliance of anti-Imperial and pro-democracy forces, has seized control of most of the major cities in a daring strike, but the Emperor has escaped their grasp and now leads the loyal remnants of his army to crush this impudent...

Saving Soviet Democracy: A Russian Revolution Timeline by GiantMonkeyMan "Under the pitiless pelting of facts I have been driven to the conclusion that if Lenin and 18 other Bolshevik leaders had perished, events in Russia would have taken much the same course. The robbed and oppressed masses -...

Compared to organic life, robots have many advantages. Their bodies are relatively simple by comparison, making it easier to diagnose and repair problems, as well as reducing the variety of things that can go wrong. By the same token, robots are fairly easy to mass-produce; it's a lot easier to...

Introduction Hi, I'm the writer formerly known as "Jello_Biafra" from alternatehistory.com, and this the definitive version of the timeline I began working on almost ten years ago. It's grown a lot since then. It underwent a major rewrite with the help of Illuminatus_Primus, who has since...

___________ "Numbuh One....are you sure about this cadet?" A australian youngster questioned. His blond bowl haircut covered his jade eyes,and was wearing a orange hoodie and blue jeans. "Numbuh 5 agrees..." A african american girl said and nodded in agreement." Hell, the artic base even said...

So I already posted this on AH.com, but I want a wider bunch of opinions to give me advice on how to build this. So here it goes: So, our story roughly begins in the 1820s. Minor divergences may have occurred before this, but the 1820s are where the butterflies truly begin. The Kingdom of...

So I have had the idea to come up with an original setting about an alien civilisation of people made of crystal, which will be called Kaons. I'm aiming for a mixture of fantasy and sci-fi as I want the Kaons to have some magical abilities, but also to be technology which is the primary method...

A man grins sadly, his broken body repaired by the holy presence of the many Goddess. Yet the man only feels disgust at the sight of them. The goddess forms were as close to perfection as one could ever hope to get, so much so that the word beautiful, was severely lacking. The they did vary...

Well, I wanted to do this last week but I procrastinated (as I am want to do) so here we are. For those not in the know, Mike Duncan is considered a mainstay of the history podcasting community beginning with this seminal work The History of Rome, a narrative history of Roman Civilization...

Jedi Initiate Quest! There is rarely peace, as a troubled galaxy falls into war. The Temple has fallen into a martial mindset. People train their lightsaber skills with far more fervor, they practice killing-blows, they study battle tactics with as much enthusiasm as they had once practiced...

Egalite, Fraternite, Liberte A Political RP in the French Revolution Liberty Leads the People, Eugene Delacroix (Preapproved by SV mods) It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. But most of all, it was a time of upheaval, where France was open to being remade in the image of any...

Not my light fixture. Not my ceiling. Not my wall. Not my other wall. Not my other other wall. Not my room. It is telling of the sort of person I am that the first thought to enter my mind, after the instinctual "I am in danger" feeling, was not "kidnapping" or "trafficking", or even...

So lately I've been swept up in the musical Hamilton (or at least its soundtrack) and it's lead to one historical question that's come to bother me. Why was it John Adams who ran in 1796, while Alexander Hamilton stayed on the side? From what little I've read, Hamilton had greater clout in the...

There's basically no place for discussion of live performance stuff or non-visual recorded media, so this is probably the best spot for this thread. So, Hamilton. As in, Alexander Hamilton. Founding Father, man on the United States' 10 dollar bill, First Secretary of the Treasury, most...
