  1. Of Jedi, Nelwyns, and Other Silly Things: An Alternate History of Late-1980's Cinema

    Of Jedi, Nelwyns, and other Silly Things An Alternate History of Late-1980's Cinema Part 1: The Road Back Some would say Return of the Jedi was a low mark in the career of George Lucas. It was a somewhat satisfying bookend to what many call the "Star Wars Original Trilogy." It is generally...

  2. Turn the Paige: Baseball Integrates in the 1930's

    While the old “gentleman’s agreement” effectively segregated baseball, support for it drifted among players and managers by the 1930’s. John McGraw kept a personal list of black players he wished he could have hired to play for the Giants. It would take an enterprising owner to break...

  3. In the Heart of Metal: Ozzy Osbourne Dies in 1982

    Chapter 1a: The Demise of a Heavy Metal Pioneer POD: March 18-20, 1982: Ozzy Osbourne, former lead vocalist of Black Sabbath and currently engaged in a successful solo career played yet another show with his band in Knoxville, Tennessee. They were due to perform in a festival in Orlando...

  4. Baseball PODs and Scenarios

    Copied from my post at another board: Johnny Kling plays for the Cubs in 1909: In OTL, Johnny Kling was also a famous pool player in addition to being known as one of the greatest catchers to play for the Chicago Cubs. A dispute over salary led to Kling sitting out the 1909 season after the...

  5. The Curse of the Black Cat: The St. Louis Cardinals Collapse After 1944

    The Curse of the Black Cat The St. Louis Cardinals collapse after 1944 The St. Louis Browns may be the baseball darlings of St. Louis, but that was not always the case. The St. Louis Cardinals have eight National League Pennants, four American Association Pennants and four World Series...

  6. The Rise and Fall of Pantera

    The Rise and Fall of Pantera The Early Years – Terry Glaze Era: Pantera had its beginnings in Texas in 1981. Darrell (lead guitar) and Vincent Paul “Vinnie Paul” Abbott (drums), sons country music songwriter and producer Jerry Abbot, formed the core of the band. Also present in the early...

  7. Greece-wank - Greece gets the whole farm (post-WWI)

    WI Greece managed to get their demands and then some? This would included Northern Epirus, Albanian Macedonia, Bulgarian and Turkish Thrace (including Constantinople) as well as the islands they took in OTL? Smyrna may have been out of the question as the Turks would have been able to take it...

  8. Heisenberg's Bomb - What would it take for Germany to get the bomb?

    This post is more of an attempt to hammer out fine details for a potential timeline that could evolve from Germany successfully obtaining the atomic bomb in late 1943 or early 1944. I realize that in order to be at least semi-plausible, Heisenberg would have to be fully behind the project and...

  9. Legacy of St. Muhammad

    This is a stab at an Arab timeline. I want some opinions on it, no matter how critical they may be. This is just a rough draft and I want to iron some stuff out before I post most of the Byzantine stuff. Even I was a bit iffy when coming up with this timeline. So here we go... Legacy of...

  10. Worst Case Scenario - Columbine Massacre

    On April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold launched the most violent school shooting in US history. But it could have been a lot worse. They set two 20-pound propane bombs in the cafeteria, but the timers malfunctioned. They carried out their plan regardless of the failure. If the...

  11. A collection of ACW Era WI's. Discussion. Not all Confederate victory.

    I know I don't post here much anymore, but after seeing the Shiloh thread, I decided to come back with a wider discussion of topics on the ACW era. 1) Nathaniel P. Banks: Secretary of War. Though probably the least plausible, keeping Banks off the battlefield can do nothing but good for the...

  12. Bush Metallica: An Alternate History Of Metal

    In 1982, James Hetfield was unsure of his vocal abilities and for good reason. The version of "Hit the Lights" on the Metal Massacre Vol. 1 compilation featured James screaming like a woman, a stark contrast to how he sounds today. During that year, the band tried to recruit John Bush of...

  13. Music PODs

    Note: I'll try not to make them all metal centric. 1) John Bonham doesn't drink himself to death. Can Led Zeppelin survive the emerging glam scene in the mid-80s or will they enjoy a period in the darkness like Black Sabbath did? 2) Ritchie Blackmore decides to remain with Deep Purple...

  14. WI Poland invaded in 1939...by the USSR?

    The date is October 16, 1938. The Nazis had just played on their diplomatic victory and annexed the Sudetenland the day before. But while Berlin was abuzz, the mood in the Kremlin was like that of a funeral. Stalin knew in his heart that the West was strengthening Germany to use as a weapon...

  15. Stonewall Jackson: Union General

    Many people have considered the effect of what would have happened if Robert E. Lee had taken up Lincoln's offer to command the Union army. But what if Stonewall Jackson had decided to side with his nation instead of Virginia? He may not get the nickname Stonewall at First Manassas, but if his...

  16. Antietam WI: Not A Confederate Victory Thread

    With the unfair proportions of Confederate Victory timelines, I pose a question. What if McClellan's victory at Antietam had been total rather than just tactical? Let's say Lee is unable to escape and even with McClellan's morose attitude towards battle, he manages to capture General Lee and...
