Doing this for my demon campaign. Posted it in the other thread, thought I might re-post here, get some opinions, maybe get some ideas for other alternates thrown my way.

Alternate Floridas
“Control has taken note of three zone transition events in the previous eight hours. Recommended action is resetting the entire southeast region approximately ten seconds.”

Where the Sidewalk Ends
The Florida metro that crosses Tampa, Orlando, and Miami is a world of alternates; paths not taken, choices not made, and worlds only dreamed of in fevered imaginations. Where Seattle's shards are ahead or behind the times, most of the shards accessible through the strange doorways in Florida are could-have-beens and might-well-bes.

Bit of the Old In-And-Out
Some shards have access to technologies or resources that aren't available in others. These could be anything from stable rocketpacks to arm-mounted nonlethal resin spraying barnacle guns, and they understandably perk eyebrows when they're utilized or demonstrated. Most of these items cause compromise rolls when they're flashed around, and definitely cause compromise rolls or straight up Cover loss if photos or footage of them ends up anywhere that they don't belong. This doesn't apply to everything you'd pull through a shard with you, just the stuff that stands out.

Supernatural Awareness
In worlds with humans, changing fates often reveal the presence of unnatural manipulations. It should be noted that awareness is not saturation – a world could very well be a perfect facsimile of the real world in which all methods of enacting any kind of physical change are contracts, but the inhabitants be completely unaware, possibly even of each other.

None: There is no supernatural presence or knowledge at all other than the Machine and its agents, and humanity is essentially completely unaware of it.

●: There are a few people who know a few things, but knowledge, true knowledge, of the supernatural is largely held by inhuman things and the odd cult. If there is a supernatural presence at all, these shards quickly move to Awareness ●● almost as soon as photography or audio recording is invented, and certainly move up once there are devices that can detect the movement and flow of subatomic particles and energies.

●●: Some people know, a lot of people suspect something is very wrong, and hunter cells form regularly to do something about it. There's a lot of information on the internet, but for the most part, supernaturals don't talk to each other and they certainly don't talk to humans about anything. This is assumed to be the “default” level of the World of Darkness. It can easily move to stage ●●● if there's a particularly nasty breakdown of any of the barrier worlds or an information age breaks out. This can be a smooth transition or a sudden and abrupt one.

●●●: Beings from Shadow wander the streets at night, the average person on the street knows what to do if assaulted by a supernatural being. Learning the occult is like getting a college degree – everyone's heard of it, and they might have a cousin who works on strange energies or something, but for the most part, it doesn't interfere with the culture too much, it's just known.

●●●●: Goblin markets sometimes take place out in the open, during the day, and cops or the National Guard are trained to repel Arcadian beings and other such entities. Supernatural news is often the highlight of the day. The culture is built or being built around this knowledge. These types of shards move to stage ●●●●● if there is any kind of infrastructure collapse or cultural reconstruction from a transition out of stage ●●● awareness.

●●●●●: Goblin markets are the rule, not the exception. Bizarre things from Shadow or the Hedge are as normal as any other citizen. Everyone claims they know a guy who knows a guy that can decide what the rules of reality are at any moment. Magic is so integrated into society that there is very little cultural difference between “magic” and “not magic.” In fact, the concept of “antimagic” or “dispelling” things might not even exist.

Nuked Orlando
Point of Divergence: Sometime in October, 1962
Supernatural Awareness: ●●●●
In October of 1962, Russia placed a series of ballistic missiles in Cuba, and while post-negotiations it was agreed that Russia would dismantle the weapons, a frustrated Castro ordered the weapons fired, which resulted in a wide-scale exchange. This Florida is nearly completely retaken by its natural environment, and is dotted with sandhill, scrub, and oak hammock. There is a small settlement named Solace where Sanford is in baseline. It's a good sort of place to lie low while waiting for heat to die down, from, say, holding up a Krystal so you can use the angel repair facility in the back.

Dinosaur World
Point of Divergence: About 65 million years ago
Supernatural Awareness: None
On baseline, sixty-five million years ago, an asteroid impact in Chicxulub resulted in the extinction of the non-avialan Dinosaurs. In Dinosaur World, this mass extinction did not occur. While most plant life continues to be recognizable as modern, there are no easily-notable modern species of animal. The megafauna of Florida consists of a wide variety of heavily modified Cretaceous landforms, from flightless Azhdarchids, active dromaeosaurs, and to an omnivorous ceratopsian species referred to as the “local boar.” The area is only interesting because it has a mortal human settlement from a sharded Earth nearby that may or may not be baseline in the approximate geographical location of the downtown Orlando Public Library. The shard here inserts from the flyover at 17-92 and 436 right into a lake just north of that area.

Oloyaindo
Point of Divergence: Around 1347
Supernatural Awarness: ●●●●●
On this shard, the Black Death managed to wipe out around three-fourths the population of Europe, rather than around a third, killing almost any kind of trade across the Atlantic. The Mexica Triple Alliance and the Mississippian complex have formed into rather large nations using Florida as a trading hub for exploration east into Europe and Africa. Oloyaindo is a large city and general tourist destination due to its nature as centralized point for culture in North and South America, in addition to greater Asia. Death Gods are a fact of life among the nochtiné (“all of us”), as well as magicians and religious practitioners of many varieties. Oloyaindo is a center for scientific research and investigation, leaning toward what other Earths might call the more esoteric expressions of science.

EPCOT Metro
Point of Divergence: Summer 1965
Supernatural Awareness: ●●
In this shard, a mysterious backer (collectively believed to be the God-Machine) awarded Walt Disney with the money required to build “The Florida Project” - Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, also known as EPCOT - to his vision and specification, before the Magic Kingdom. The modular city so constructed continued to be a driving force for technological prowess, and the entire metro region is an experimental testbed for all sorts of infrastructure and social systems. Most of the city is covered in smartglass and robots are a common sight on the streets. Nearly everything swarms with the God-Machine's influence. It's easier for a demon to be compromised in this Orlando, but it's also the sort of place where higher and faster gains against God can be made.

Moorlando
Point of Divergence: Summer 716
Supernatural Awareness: ●●
In this shard, a small army led by Pelagius was nearly defeated by an Umayyad army in the in the mountains of Iberia, and was allowed to establish a small christian town in Asturias. The rest of the Reconquista met with similar failures, largely due to lack of leadership and centralized ambition. The series of conflicts that lead to the Moorish revitalization of Iberia also lead to a stronger, more centralized Moorish base of power in the peninsula, and it is Islamic ships that sail in the 1490s seeking a new route to a new world. Now the Islamic World Alliance operates much of the southeastern North America, along with the Mexica Triple Alliance, and while the age of Conquesta has long past, the people of the New Covadonga have built a newer, more secular government still plagued and ruled by its Islamic forebearers

Biolando
Point of Divergence: Between 0.2 and 1.7 million years ago
Supernatural Awareness: ●●●●● (but see below)
In baseline, humanity achieved control of fire before the introduction of sapiens; at some point in this shard, that practice was either abandoned or never occurred, but this shard is the site of multiple domestication events triggered by the emergence of psychic ability in several early human species. Over the course of the evolution of sapiens, selective breeding and manipulation of genetic material has led to a cultural revolution in which the history of the world is encoded in a vast memetic entity that essentially rules the equatorial regions of the planet. This entity directly opposes the God-Machine and almost anything created by its ministrations – the human culture is well-aware of multiple shards and that they are living in a pocket shard created by accident. The Hotel currently considers it a no-go zone, but there might be some secrets here where God openly wars against the hives.

Teslando
Point of Divergence: Around 1900
Supernatural Awareness: ●●●
In this shard, Nikola Tesla met and married Anne Morgan while working for J.P. Morgan, and with access to the Morgan fortune and Anne's assistance, managed to overcome his own innate resistance to charity and personal interaction, and together they built an empire of steel and glass. Early adoption of wireless power led directly to the proliferation of nuclear energy in the 1940s and a much deadlier World War II. Currently, airships still plow through the skies and computing technology, while not miniaturized, saturates as much of the world as it does in baseline. Companies founded by Tesla on behalf of Thomas Edison have managed to prove the existence of Twilight, and several hunter agencies openly work for the police force. While they are unaware of the God-Machine, residents of this shard have recently become aware of traffic in and out of their universe.
