Recorded at Metatopia 2017
Presented by Eric Simon, Darren Watts, Shoshana Kessock, and Elsa Henry.
From the implicit imperialism of steampunk to the complicated controversy of HBO's Confederate, it seems like alternate history is often fraught with problems. We provide you with techniques and ideas for writing, designing, and playing with historical and alternate historical themes in ways that are positive, inclusive, respectful, and productive.
