Iron Skies is a loose alternate history/sci-fi setting where humanity becomes spacefaring during the Victorian period. The setting is expected to cover roughly 100 years, from the 1870s to the 1970s. This is the second iteration of this project, for the sake of posterity the original version can be found here.

Note: this part of the site is still a work in progress.
