    Nobunaga’s Ambition Realized: Dawn of a New Rising Sun

    "It was because of this status that Morimochi was able to manage" Did something get cut off there?

    WI the US federal government goes after DND and other fantasy tabletop games?

    I've long had Plus, his full name was Ronald Wilson Reagan -- six letters, three times. One must wonder ... On a serious note, there were Congressional hearings about superhero comics in the 1950s, which gave birth to the Comics Code Authority. People will get into a panic about anything if...

    Of Mice and Plumbers: A Nintendo-Disney Timeline

    Yes, I know there was already an animated movie ITTL.

    Of Mice and Plumbers: A Nintendo-Disney Timeline

    An idea for the plot of a coherent Super Mario Bros. movie. It came to me just now while I was reading the timeline. Use or non-use is entirely up to the author. Mario and Luigi are Brooklyn plumbers who are encountering some very weird plant parts clogging the pipes they are cleaning. They...

    Blue Skies in Camelot (Continued): An Alternate 80s and Beyond

    I'd like to live in this timeline, instead of the poop-hitting-the-fan that happened to our reality.

    Shocking camera footage discovered!

    I saw an episode of Nova where they had a recently discovered film showing the crash of the Hindenburg from a new angle.

    Points in history where things went either much better or much worse than they plausibly could have?

    A big missed opportunity was that it took so long to come up with germ theory.

    I think something got cut off there.

    Saddam assassinates Bush (1993) - American invasion of Iraq in 1993?

    We're getting away from the OP's question. This has become a discussion perhaps better suited to Chat. On the original question -- if the assassination attempt on Bush Sr. had been successful, then I believe Clinton would have deposed Sadaam Hussein, by invasion or killing the dictator directly.

    Saddam assassinates Bush (1993) - American invasion of Iraq in 1993?

    Actually, I looked and couldn't find it. False memory. But it was not "force of events" that led to the invasion of Iraq. It was an obsession long before 9/11 among Bush and the neoconservatives he ran with. The terror attacks were an impetus and excuse all at once, but the leadership was...

    Saddam assassinates Bush (1993) - American invasion of Iraq in 1993?

    A New York Times article I read years ago for the first assertion, and Bush's own words "he tried to hurt my Dad" for the second.

    Saddam assassinates Bush (1993) - American invasion of Iraq in 1993?

    Actually, it is now known that was totally a rumor -- no hit team was ever sent. However, the rumor led to the invasion of Iraq anyway.

    "To Introduce our Guest Star, that's What I'm Here to Do..." The Hensonverse Fan Contribution Thread

    486 million would be one of the biggest films of the year, horror ornot! Also I think you meant exploitation rather than exploration. What if a sequel featured a sibling of one of the Jones, out for revenge?

    At least it wasn't the early 19th century. After the Revolution, a suddenly reappeared French Prince would be lucky to survive the week.

    Alt-History Aftermath Scenarios Implied by Media

    True story -- I once seriously considered writing a parody of Clive Cussler's books, in the vein of Scary Movie or Airplane! It was going to be called Thriller Novel: A Thrilling Novel of Novel Thrills . The hero would be Mahn Lee O'Manly (the name is explained by him being a "Vietnamese-Irish...

    Alt-History Aftermath Scenarios Implied by Media

    And of course, it's perfectly reasonable to have a quarter million Nazis living in Antartica -- most of whom are beautiful women who are "frigid", to justify their not falling instantly for author avatar Dirk Pitt. In addition, almost every book has massive technological advances take place...

    When you Wish Upon a Frog (Book II of the Jim Henson at Disney saga)

    Well, in the real world's history mercenary armies have done plenty of switching sides or simply leaving without joining battle once paid. Given the Republic's social and economic decline, and the Trade Guild's vast wealth, it is all too easy to imagine the Mandalorians doing the same. So the...

    When you Wish Upon a Frog (Book II of the Jim Henson at Disney saga)

    For the prequels -- a cool idea I once had was that one of the Jedi should be a Hutt named Turgu. He's the exact opposite of Jabba -- instead of being an obese criminal, he's athletic and honorable and a good guy. When Padme first meets him, she's shocked: "I thought that Hutts were crime...
