[RQ-Rules] Re: Alternate Earth

[Roger Benham]

So far, the alternatives mentioned bar Atlantis all seem to be Historical Earths.  While the Aztecs would be a good idea (Along with the Mixtecs, Mayans and Yaqui as well), are we really talking about alternates or just historical Earths?  I'd love to see more alternate Earths- GURPS Time Travel did a few of these brilliantly, but BRP is just as suited to doing it as well.
I'd like to see a world where the Neanderthals wiped out humanity- you could do what you liked more or less, or a world of dinosaurids who have had a continuous culture for nearly 200 million years, and so on.  
What would also be interesting is to have the worlds interlinked in some way. I did this in one of my campaigns: the PCs wandered into a gigantic city built by a pair of dinosaur races in a parallel world.  
Many historical settings have been covered by GURPS, Bushido, Victorian Roleplaying (Cthulhu as well in this field); perhaps we should be thinking more of the Luther Arkwright game (Which I haven't seen), based on the comic (which I've read!).

So: what are we doing here?
