  1. [RPG] Olympus, Inc.

    Recently I’ve been reading a lot more RPG books than standard AH novels. Personally, since many Steampunk stories have magic or paranormal, I often include books like the Percy Jackson series as a type of AH. That being said there’s an RPG called Olympus, Inc. that is equally cool. In it...

  2. Oh, Canada, Where Art Thou?

    So as many of you have may have noticed I really think the only way the Confederacy could have gained its independence is with direct British intervention. This would be rather improbable; neither Lincoln nor British politicians were that foolish. BUT say they were...let's go with a worse...

  3. Confederate Victory Pet Peeve

    Second only the the massive lie that Robert E. Lee was an abolitionist (spoiler: He was not!); my biggest pet peeve in any TL or story where the Confederacy gains its independence is the assertion that the Democratic Party will come to dominate the Union post-war. Why!? I wrote this in a...

  4. AHC: Trafalgar Refought

    I ran into an interesting book recently entitled Trafalgar Refought. It was written in 1905 to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar. The basic premise is an exploration of what the battle would have been like if fought by 1905-era pre-Dreadnaught battleships instead of...

  5. Alternate Space RPG

    I've been away from these forums for a while. A lot of my free time has been taken up by helping to co-write an RPG. The final product, Orbital, was released just last week and an accompanying adventure, Gift of the Makers, came out today. And yes it is an Alternate History. With a POD...

  6. Reform and Liberty

    Reform and Liberty: A History of the War that Transformed North America (From the inside flap.) Today most citizens of North America see the tragic events that engulfed much of the continent for nearly a decade as preordained. That the Liberal movement in Mexico would find allies in the...

  7. Commonwealth Wars?

    So I'm still working on my War of the Two Commonwealths thread but I was wondering what the readers of these forums think the most likely course of action would be for this AH. 1. Anglo-American War PRO: Fighting already occurring. Many Southern fire-eaters want war to weaken the North...

  8. Sardinia vs. Austria

    Say France remained on the sidelines in 1859 or 1860, could Sardinia (assisted by Garibaldi led patriots, some minor Italian states and a Kossuth led Hungarian Legion) defeat Austria by themselves? What if Prussia mobilized and threatened Bavaria, while gaining a guarantee of Russian...

  9. Selkirk: Texas of the North

    June 19, 1816 – Robert Semple, Governor of the Selkirk Grant Colony and an American from Boston, Mass., survives the Battle of Seven Oaks. The injured man makes his way back to Montreal where he meets up with Thomas Douglas, 5th Earl of Selkirk. Selkirk uses his influence and money to...

  10. War of the Two Commonwealths

    Mary Francher lay as still as possible. The sun had set and the temperature continued to drop. Despite this the brutalized fifteen year old found the cool air refreshing, though she feared that her shivering might give her away. Raped, beaten and twice stabbed she had been left for dead in a...

  11. Gurps Dixie and Timeline-191

    This is cross posted from the SJGames World War II forums. I'm working on a WWII campaign set in an alternate history where the South won its independence. I like the Union from the Dixie setting in GURPS Alternate Earth; libertarian and already holding western Canada, but I want to merge...

  12. A House to Big to "Chew"

    Germantown Victory Oct. 4, 1777: 0700: After pausing to asses the situation, Washington disregards the advice of Chief of Artillery, Henry Knox. Instead of pausing his brigade to reduce the Chew House, he leaves a regiment of infantry, a company of riflemen and a single canon to contain the...

  13. The Andes War

    During the 1920s and 30s many nations in Latin America resented America's seemingly heavy handed involvement in the the affairs of the region. This was especially so with Argentina. Here is a brief attempt to have a realistic war occur because of this tension as well as the tension that...

  14. Franklin Among the Delaware

    This is an old timeline I had on my computer. Point of Divergence  1728: The husband of Deborah Read does not abandon her. Thus Benjamin Franklin is unable to wed her. Franklin is forced to place his illegitimate son in the care of wealthy friends in Philadelphia. He is unable to get a...

  15. Lee goes with Lopez

    Great Caribbean War March 1850: Narciso Lopez convinces Major Robert E. Lee to accompany him on his filibustering expedition to Cuba. Over the next two months they gather almost 1,200 volunteers as the so called Cuban Liberation Brigade. May 1850: Lopez and Lee capture the Cuban town of...

  16. WI Delaware end slavery in 1847?

    In 1847 the state senate of Delaware tabled a bill to gradually emancipate its slaves by only one vote. Ironically, this vote was cast by a senator later found to be residing in Pennsylvania (no real fraud here just a poor boundary survey). Although it is likely that the bill would have been...

  17. WI - St. Albans Raid leads to War

    This TL was inspired by the threats arguing whether the US could have won the ACW even if a European nation intervened on the CSA's behalf. Some have said essentially...No way!! Britain was all powerful!! The Union didn't stand a chance!! Well to that I say hoooiee! It all depends on when...
