If only there was a way to run this on linux.

Thanks! I estimate I’m at least 25% of the way through, where the last 75% will be editing and finding beta readers.

I’m still writing, slow and steady lol.

I made a similar thread a year ago if that helps: https://hexbear.net/post/185417

Don’t worry about that, my book is overflowing with far less probable happenings.

I think the worst case scenario for Chernobyl was that Eastern Europe would become uninhabitable. I’m not changing the Chernobyl exclusion zone’s size though, instead the Chernobyl disaster will be caused by alien infiltrators for the purpose of conjuring a colossal alien demon thing. In my story the USSR is basically the last country on earth that’s not secretly controlled by aliens.

No Chernobyl Disaster.

great list, but I’m actually going in the opposite direction on this one.

this is good but I’m probably going to reserve my first post-WWII nuking for Washington DC.

So actually, I just let Stalin die. I think I’ll world-build in an explanation that’ll make sense naturally in the context of everything else going on, but fundamentally change nothing. The actual change I’m putting in related to Stalin is that the Soviet-sino split actually goes in the opposite direction and the USSR undergoes Restalinisation shortly after the Soviet-sino split. My actual narration is set in the 1980s.
