What I have run falls mostly in the realm of short campaigns or one shots.One was d20M and had the PCs (pregen) as members of the Order of the Emerald Delta investigating a mysterious explosion outside of Millton, NJ, Commonwealth of America on behalf of the Queen, one of Victoria's half-fey decendants.  They interviewed Mayor Grover, whose family had the hereditary position for generations, and led them to a serious of CoC/War of the World encounters culminanting in the destruction of a Star Spawn.   This was not, really, alt.history but Fantasy History.Other campaigns have had a steampunk edge, but little discussion of the state of the world at large, and thus were more SciFi than Alt. History.What alternate history campaigns have you run?  What made them work or not?  Do you have any that you are just dying to run?</blockquote>
