This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Anyone have any cool maps for a "parallel worlds" campaign, of alternate histories?  They could be of the present, or alternate pasts too.

They have multiple members who have made many, many AH maps, plus you can also find finished alternate timelines.

This was a cool site, until it became an echo chamber for whiners screeching about how the "Evul SJWs are TAKING OVAH!!!" every time any RPG book included a non-"traditional" NPC or concept, or their MAGA peeners got in a twist. You're in luck, drama queens: the Taliban is hiring.

One of the larger alt history sites has entire forum dedicated to alt maps.

I attached one of an alternate Revolutionary War from a timeline I wrote called Decades of Light.

Thanks for those links, but what specific maps do you all think are extra-cool?

I'm only interested in maps after the Nazis won WWII, or after the CSA beat the North during the US civil war.  I don't care for maps showing minor things going on in Burma.  A map needs to show at a glance the big picture of what the alternate political scene is.

Crimson Skies alternate US map was interesting.

On either of the two actual AH sites, the best maps were done by the users Diamond or Thande.

And on AH.com, probably stuff before 2009 was better done.

That's on my list of games I'd like to play, but somehow my group hasn't gotten around to it.  :(
