My Little Pony is more plausible. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329903841574816313.post-88586776335504273722015-05-10T13:15:52.828+01:002015-05-10T13:15:52.828+01:00I have no problem with Si-Fi (but not my cup of te...I have no problem with Si-Fi (but not my cup of tea) nor Fantasy as they don't try to emulate history fudging the boundaries.<br /><br />Historical has come under attack and as you say not helped by the jerk element. Not that I think pure history has anything to worry about from the ones who dislike history in favour of Fantasy/Si-Fi as they tend to be poles apart anyway.<br /><br />IanIanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113835961977211021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329903841574816313.post-66950742342647433562015-05-10T13:11:47.264+01:002015-05-10T13:11:47.264+01:00I like fantasy, 19th level pixies are the best LOL...I like fantasy, 19th level pixies are the best LOL<br /><br />IanIanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113835961977211021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329903841574816313.post-11793489241609848872015-05-09T20:36:14.755+01:002015-05-09T20:36:14.755+01:00OMG!

Okay it's a fair cop. ;-)<br /><br />I'll chip in on Alternate History... for me you are describing Sci-Fi/Fantasy, nothing 'historical' about them whatsoever. <br /><br />In fact I sometimes get the feeling that history is beginning to become a dirty word as far as some games go, which is not helped by the button-counters (or bores) pouring scorn on people who paint brass buttons "when everyone knows that they were pewter after breakfast on 4th May 1776".<br /><br />Good post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329903841574816313.post-13646569469101336022015-05-09T13:37:26.535+01:002015-05-09T13:37:26.535+01:00Really interesting and I agree with all except alt...Really interesting and I agree with all except alternative histories. Although I could substitute it with fantasy and my version would be word for word.
