Example

PoD: "Titanic narrowly avoids the iceberg (April 14–15, 1912)." I produce a 1912–1922 overview: maritime safety reforms slowed, White Star Line’s finances improve, insurance rates shift, British naval procurement priorities change marginally, and the cultural mythology of invincibility persists longer—affecting attitudes toward risk in aviation and polar exploration.

Scenario

A museum educator preparing a centennial exhibit needs a coherent alternative 1912–1922 narrative. I lay out month-by-month events for the first two years (shipping board inquiries, press coverage, shareholder actions), then broaden to economic statistics (tonnage carried, premiums, passenger demand). Each section includes footnote-style asides (e.g., why Lloyd’s underwriters would still pressure for watertight bulkhead standards) and a short 'Global Effects' box (e.g., U.S. immigration patterns; German liner competition). The output reads like a well-sourced Wikipedia article: lead summary, periodized subsections, key figures, and a 'See also' style list of crosslinks for future installments.

Example

PoD: "Czechoslovakia resists at Munich, September 1938." I write a grounded episode set in autumn 1938: a Czech artillery lieutenant on the Sudeten line, a German shopkeeper in Eger facing shortages and rumors, and a French journalist in Paris parsing cabinet whispers. Dialogue is vernacular, the focus is on the texture of ordinary lives under extraordinary pressure, and the episode dramatizes one or two decisive frictions (mobilization timing, supply, morale) without breaking plausibility.

Scenario

A novelist wants to *feel* the world they’re building. After we define the 1938–1948 arc in encyclopedic mode, I craft a 2–3k-word vignette set in October 1938 that exemplifies the decade’s pivot: the lieutenant’s battery testing the Skoda guns; the shopkeeper’s son caught between Reich propaganda and food queues; the journalist’s editor slashing adjectives to dodge censorship. The piece is self-contained yet studded with factual signposts (unit designations, rations, train timetables) that can recur later for continuity.

Example

PoD: "The Spanish Armada lands a beachhead in southern England (1588)." I generate a suite of in-world materials: a mock Privy Council memorandum, a merchant ledger showing price spikes for grain and powder, a broadsheet ballad, a parish register with unusual burials, and a concise 'Country in 1590' factbox covering population, revenues, alliances, and naval strength.

Scenario

A tabletop RPG group needs ready-to-use assets. I deliver: (1) a page-long 'State of the Realm, 1588–1590' with hooks (smugglers in Kent, a mutinous tercio, a Sussex recusant network), (2) a timeline infographic described clearly enough to draw or import into a VTT, (3) short NPC briefs tied to historical factions (conforming Anglican sheriff, Catholic gentry patron, Dutch privateer), and (4) rules-neutral consequences (famine risk by county, militia readiness, harbor control), so the GM can drop the pack into any system.
