==The World Eats a Shit Sandwich (1914–1918)==
'''What Happened:''' In the [[grimdark|grim darkness]] of our not entirely distant past, there is [[Only War]]. It fucking sucked. Seriously, the first world war was such an all-encompassing event that there's literally not a single country that wasn't at least affected by it. European forces suffered thirty million war casualties. Germany lost 15% of its male population, France, 10%. Basically all men in Germany had to roll a save or die DC 30 with no bonus on the die roll. In France, all guys who rolled a 1 on a D10 were killed. And you thought [[Gygax]] was bad.   Near the end of this era Russia falls apart, kicking off a series of revolutions that would eventually create the Soviet Union in 1922. [[Lich|Ra-Ra-Rasputin]], [[Meme|Russia's greatest love machine]], is supposedly killed. 
*'''Themes to Use:''' Dubya Dubya One is the canonical example of all things grimdark in war. Some even thought it would be the end of the world. All the classic horrors of war are available for themes, including [[Savlar Chem Dogs|biochemical warfare]], mass charges into machine gun nests [[Imperial Guard|in hope of drowning the enemy in bodies]], and the first use of airplanes in war. Even for the areas not directly involved in the fighting, The Great War is on everybody's minds. If Russian history is more your thing, then this time period is a veritable fruit-basket of events! There's the manipulation of the royal family by a shady character who may or may not have had supernatural powers, the climactically violent overthrowing of the old monarchy by the angry masses, and the beginning of an era that would turn out to be even ''worse'' for the people than the last one.
*'''Notable Works Set In This Period:''' All Quiet on the Western Front, Private Peaceful, War Horse, Flyboys, Legends of the Fall, Johnny Got His Gun
