Blue Planet/Subnautica/Ecco-style game with SW or something?
Hey Blue Planet Fans!
I love Blue Planet and own almost all the books for the RPG, except for the Dolphin supplement. I'm tentatively interested in running a game set On Poseidon, "The Blue Planet"
A couple of caveats however.
-I'm not a fan of the clunky rules, so I'd use something else for a system. I don't own Savage Worlds, as was recommended above. I have a couple ideas for more PBP friendly systems.
Simple D6 system or possibly Mongoose Traveller or Original Traveller. Maybe even CoC/BRP.
-I'm going to ask you to play humans. Dolphin/Orca's will be rare and not PC's. I find it too demanding as the GM to do the "out of the water" parts of the adventures with these kind of purely aquatic characters. Natives or Genetically Engineered humans are fine.
We would need to narrow down what type of game, who the players want to be, as well before I would fully commit to running, however I'm interested in discussing it :)
I've often thought a "Coast Guard"/ Emergency Response Team type of game, with players taking on the role of a rescue crew would be fun and different than a lot of combat games where the emphasis in on helping others survive rather than killing them. There are all of the big Typhoon like storms that regularly sweep the planets tropics as well as the constant danger from the sea, its creatures and malfunctioning mining/diving equipment etc. Plenty of adventure potential. Sort of like a Coast Guard Helicopter crew...
That's an idea anyway. I'm open to others...
I'm willing to Run as an adult game as well.
