A while ago, I discovered a very interesting website/RPG/series of books called "Ascension Epoch".
It's run by husband-and-wife team Michael DiBaggio and Shell Dibaggio. It's a Creative Commons shared universe, meaning anyone can write with the characters and setting, and they indeed are encouraged to. The setting is an alternate history based off of classic public domain fiction. The world as we know it has been altered by both the devastating Martian Invasion (of War of the Worlds fame) and the emergence of people with supernatural powers, called "Talents". There are also many other supernatural and extra-terrestrial forces working behind the scenes. You might like it if you're fascinated by the crossover worldbuilding of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, the Wold Newton family or Anno Dracula.
Unfortunately there has been little activity in the project for the past few months, which is understandable considering all the insanity the world has been going through. It just occurred to me that I've seen no mention of the project on this sight, but it would probably be right up the alley for a lot of Chrons members. The website is here and the Amazon page for the DiBaggio's books in the series is here.
