Plot introduction

The glorious Roman Empire has ruled for nearly 27 centuries when Marcus Americanius Scriptor acquires a strange bracelet from a mysterious stranger. With the bracelet, he finds that he is able to travel to alternate Romes in worlds where the course of history has diverged from the one with which he is familiar. Worlds he finds later have no Roman Empire at all, and a cruel new regime in Germania on a path of conquest. That leads to a conflict between all the parallel universes in which Rome never fell and all those in which the Nazis won World War II.

gollark: Technically, proof of stake is a thing. Though it has its own horrible problems.
gollark: I read somewhere that the really low price is more of a marketing gimmick, hence why lots of places have a quantity limit, and the price of the version with headers reflects the actual price more accurately.
gollark: It *can work* as one, sure. Although so can ESP32 microcontroller things, which might be cheaper.
gollark: My tab count has been beaten? Troubling.
gollark: I can even get away with 700 open tabs with some fraction of my 8GB of RAM. Obviously not all of them are actively loaded and running.
