Dimension X-The Man in the High Castle

[avendeen]

The Man in the High Castle is the title of novel written by Phillip K. Dick of a conquered America. After WWII, The US is divided into pro-Western (Germany) and pro-Eastern (Japan) nations. There is a cold war between Japan and Germany (I know this theme has been done many times but no one does it like Phillip K. Dick).

Is anyone running a Dimension X style campaign or adventure? If so, I would love to hear your ideas and alternate realities.

What a great book that is. You might want to look into, I think, some books by Harry Turtledove. I haven't read him, but I know he's big into alternate histories. In any case, TMitHC is a great source text for a campaign.

I've got lots of info and session summaries online for my time- and dimension-hopping campaign, Wings of Icarus.

It isn't a campaign and I never managed to plan a campaign based on it, but I've always found the backstory of The Longest Journey PC game extremely fascinating in its mix of sci-fi, fantasy and secret history.
