Okay, I think that's done.

When I'm old and grey, I'm going to play this album for young people and tell them that it's a musical adaption of real history.

"Yeah, things were fucked up like you wouldn't believe back then. Most of what happened was censored because the government didn't want people to know about it.
...I've found something new that I like.

We should hold elections for happy thread titles.
Hell nah. All hail Owlga and Gunner-chan, mostly-benevolent dictators of the Happy Thread!

yeah i don't remember people complaining as much about "soft fuel tanks" even though the meaning there is approximately as obvious
What are you talking about?

Soft fuel tanks, as in they get smaller as you use fuel?


 How is that even vaguely inappropriate?
Check the OP, young one, and be enlightened.

This thread wouldn't be the same without silly, oft-times mildly NSFW titles, at least in my personal opinion.

How would the early Renaissance future look like?

for my book, I wanted to make a Sci-Fi book dealing with Death-Row and Super-Max type criminals dealing with survival in an alien Galaxy. They were sent to death via Black Hole, but the Black Hole is actually a worm hole, and some of the trash and inmates not turned into spaghetti are farted out the other side into a completely alien Galaxy, with only the alien flora and fauna and human waste to aid in survival.

What I'd like to do is have a Sci-Fi world with a feel similar to the Late Middle Ages/Early Renaissance period, specifically, a sort of world that Christopher Columbus would possibly think of. Do you know of any resources to aid in this sort of world, and what are your thoughts and suggestions for this world?
 
I tried to do a "Roman Empire in the future" story one year. It didn't get far, but that was more because of lack of writing time. I researched how the Roman legions were organized, their weaponry, that sort of thing.
That sounds neat, though it sucks you weren't able to finish it. What was the storyline behind it?
Basically, the Roman Empire never fell and instead managed to expand across the globe. Eventually they build up to modern and then future technology, expanding into space on giant city-ships. The story would have followed the "Cursed Legion", Legio DCLXVI, shortly after the most-recent founding as they travel around battling rebels, hostile aliens, etc.

Not at all original, but wgaf?

I'm sure there are ways to acquire copies of the books, print or digital.
