    To Hell With Space Elves: Misanthropy in Science Fiction

    Eh, I like that for the "Sauron" snippet, a clone-grown space elf + cyborg implements that is wholly loyal to humanity is a very great concept. But yeah, fuck the rest of that in principle lol. I kind of want to get another thread and deconstruct it totally by having a very... transhumanity...

    Pre-Gunpowder General Military Thread

    Same rules as in the old thread. Anything from Stone Age to Renaissance - when melee weapons and non-gunpowder missile weapons are still the norm of the day! Let me start with asking a question that's been niggling at me. How do cavalry use two-hander swords? I know how sabers and spathas can...

    Isekai And/Or ISOT Ideas, Discussions And Recommendations Thread

    A modern Japanese girl got to 1400BC Anatolia, Hittite Empire. Her existence mess with the imperial politics. I've been mining some of the chapters for my novel ideas as well. Also, I've been meddling with a "Modern Man in Hideyoshi Toyotomi's Court" idea myself and it's proving quite...

    Crossover Outsiders of Jove [An Eclipse Phase/Outsider Crossover]
    Threadmarks: Chapter 1: Transported

    Premise: Take a humanity that barely survive a Singularity apocalypse. How? By lashing out against "advanced" technology that strips beings of their souls and causes loss of humanity itself. The Jovians (and a few other select factions) are the last of Homo Sapiens, the last of humans - not...

    Jordan Peterson or something whatever thread.

    If Hitler can time travel, why doesn't he went back to 1830s and smother baby Karl Marx in his crib? That would be a decent rightful action in his mental framework after all ;) Also, we can't have a JP thread without the new hotness: Notjordanpeterson.net , an AI-powered voice clone of JP...
