    The Magic Way: An EXTREMELY different Earth

    As a being of time travel, I am going to tell you a story about Earth about a hundred or so years ago. You might not believe, but it was very different back than it is now, and not in the way you'd expect. The world was filled to the brim with magic, and those who knew how to use it. It was only...

    Earth 1020 Superhero World

    I really like superhero stuff. The Marvel wiki has 1,725 pages on different realities of the Marvel Multiverse, the DC Wiki has 315, so I added it up, and averaged it out to 1,020, but I just thought 1020 without the comma looked better. Anyway I'll try my best to explain below, and I sometimes...

    The Lover's Eclipse (Greco-Roman Historical Fantasy)

    I'm thinking about starting up a roleplay centering around Greco-Roman themes and borrowing the gods and deities of the two cultures to make up the story.

    Welcome to the Wild West

    Who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned western? But this one has a twist. In the year 2031 a group of scientists created a machine that, in hope, could look into the past in order to record accurate historical documents. After a few test runs, it seemed to work fine so a group of volunteers was...
