    Exactly my thoughts. Well, I recently planned to write one or two small ones, however, I'm leaving the country today to enjoy some holidays. I'll be back on the 21st, so no work from me until then. Hopefully I'll find access to the internet somewhere, so I can at least help revitalizing the...

    It's always wonderful to see a devoted, new writer! Welcome, Brushwaterkhan! You're right, Pottyslvania does look very much like Estonia. I think in this case fiction triumphs over history: the Baltics it is! The dates of Fearless Leader's death are a bit tricky - if we expand his lifespan and...

    You know, that's a prety cool idea! I'm no expert on the technical part of modding, but a similar system appears in the Rhye's and Fall mod. I think I nice way to add the Awakening of Magic would be to create of project called Metahuman Rights Laws (or something like that, I'm gonna check if...

    However, considering my recent modern Russia update we can see that Russian communism is far from dead. The ultra-nationalist Ushi Party overthrows the Russian government at more than one occasion and they are eventually elected in 2034 as part of the Shadowrun timeline, thus returning Russia to...

    I think we could replace the Clinton Sex Scandal with the plot of the movie Wag the Dog. Basically it revolves around a team lead by a Hollywood film producer who is hired by the US president to distract the people from a sex scandal by constructing a fake war in Albania. I can highly recommend...

    Congratulations, johnny, you succeeded where I failed - the Transsylvania pedia is finished and I love it! Plus it rivals with Freedo-Moronika for the title of 'Pedia drawing on most sources'. Furthermore, I agree to you that we should concentrate on finishing nigh-done civilizations. Thus I...

    Time for another pedia collection! As always I put in some new additions - mostly small stuff, except for a rather large restructuring of present-day Russia. Plus I added the Kratos, Manco Cápac and Dracula pedia. Here's a list of chances (any Tom Clancy fans will be overjoyed, by the way):

    Well, this thread has started to die out, hasn't it? Well, guess who's back! Frankly, I didn't came around to write much lately, but it should be getting better soon. He have all put too much work in this to just forget it now, right? And here's my first pedia in quite some time: Manco Cápac...

    A very nice Kratos pedia. However, Arkantos, Romulus and Kratos were not the only heroes ascending to godhood - Heracles did, too. That would also explain why he battles Kratos in God of War III.

    Great idea. I always thought of it like this: Kratos frees the Titans and they lay siege on Olympus while their generals - the Telkines - lead hordes of monsters to bring death and destruction all over Greece, Egypt and Asia while looking for a way to cut off the connection between humanity and...

    The problem is that not every god qualifies as a ruler. For instance, the Greek gods did not sit on a throne somewhere in Athens and command the Greeks like a king does. In fact, most of the time they were just there, letting humanity develope, demanging a bit of worship and occasionally messing...

    Discussion: Civilizations and Leaders

    After admiring cfkane's recently posted SMAC leaders I just have to wonder: why haven't we thought of adding one of them to Fictionalization? I mean, our timeline goes to 2100 and that's when the starship Unity landed on Chiron. So we could add a leader from Alpha Centauri but focus on his time...

    Beginning with the Dracula bio sounds like a plan. Personally, I was going to write a pedia treating vampires in general and afterwards go into detail with Dracula, Transylvania and Nosferatu. Perhaps this overly general approach was the reason I failed? If you want, I can translate and send you...

    Oops, my bad. Well, I don't know it myself, but thanks to the allmighty goddess of wisdom, Saint Wikipedia, the ACME Detective Agency is already listed with the other ACME departments and is ment to represent Carmen Sandiego.

    Do you like exploding tennisballs? Is it true that you like giant rubber bands? Are you fond of catapults hurling anvils at running birds? If you say yes, then you'll enjoy the following pedia. [/SPOILER] Plus, I've got another Pedia Collection for you. Surprise! By the way my thanks go to...
