    The Thirty-Fifth HoS List Challenge

    Interpretatio Romana Dear Ioannis, Saturnalia comes earlier every year! It's become a bit of a commercialised holiday to be honest. People forget that the real reason we celebrate on the 25th December is because its the birth of Sol Invictus. Young people don't have any respect for tradition...

    Operation Eisenhammer in June 1943

    One of the reasons a second front was delayed (amongst many others) was the prioritisation by de Gaulle's Provisional Government to take Paris in any invasion of France and for the taking of Paris specifically to be a visibly French affair, and by French they did mean white. The Free French army...

    Scenes We'd Like To See: Alternate Movies, Television & Other Pop Culture Miscellanea

    An idea I keep having is a different, worse Satanic Panic leading to censorship laws that result in the collapse of TSR and no WOTC buy-out to save DND. DND survives however in 'xerox covens' brewing their own rules until a more liberal government emerges.

    A “British” May 68’

    I've mulled this with @Comisario before and I think my take is a Tory victory in 1959 - the emergent de facto segregation that had been allowed to persist since Windrush worsens and Labour has continuous ructions that permit a Tory victory in 1964.

    I've deliberately avoided that as I haven't actually decided! As might be apparent, this world operates on a somewhat Renaissance era understanding of the heavens (and other aspects, see the use of 'microseminal' to refer to disease) - it is possible to breathe in space as it isn't a vacuum...

    a small note - i did try to come up with some phonetic rules for the Martian names - hence heavy uses of 'y', 'h' etc. 'Krys' roughly translates to 'canal' in the All-Martian tongue. Its a very common place name suffix, as most major Martian cities are based around a canal or confluence of canals.
