I think Blue Planet is a fascinating setting that would be tremendous fun to explore. I'd like to play it, but probably not in its native system. Though there is a free 3rd edition starter out now, so maybe the rules are better. SW feels like it might work; RIFTS showed that it can handle some actually powerful PCs, so having cetaceans should be a cinch—even an orca, for all its power, is not the biggest fish in the Poseidon sea, and comes with plenty of drawbacks to balance it out.

Heavy themes of exploration, mystery, and the majestic, frightening, alien power of the deeps with all the secrets it holds sounds good to me.

Anyone else?

I'm not deeply familiar with the setting, but this sounds like it would be a good match for the Legacy: Life Among the Ruins worldbook Worldfall, which sees each player taking control of both a political faction and an individual character in a newly-formed colony. It takes a lot of its overall feel from Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, and was worked on by someone who also worked on Eclipse Phase, if I remember correctly.

Bump. Blue Planet for the masses? I'll even try it in its native 3E system or whatever, if you prefer.

Trying again, but maybe we just don't have that much in the way of Blue Planet fans here.

In reply to Samus Aran (msg # 4):

I might be interested in playing, but it would definitely be a learning experience for me.
