Streets of Silver. This is a really good, very comprehensive city book done under 3e. The city, Parma, is modeled after Renaissance Venice, so it definitely has the river features you're looking for, but may require some cultural amending to fit into a more traditional campaign feel. It was part...

Wizardry on the Apple II

Board wargames. Avalon Hill's War at Sea got me started. Stumbled onto Metagaming and TSR in a hobby shop that sold AH and SPI.

I'm in. We're still looking for a couple more players. We might do some other one-shots or short mini-campaigns of other games in addition to the 4e campaign. Carl

Fellow travellers can also be a significant source of intrigue and information, giving the DM a chance to develop adventure hooks in the form of rumors, offers, new contacts, etc.

Fair enough. My point was simply that folks shouldn't let Alternity's out-of-print status keep them from playing the game. Admittedly, for a professional in the industry, there ain't much profit in OoP. Carl

Just because nobody is currently publishing a "clone" of the Alternity system is no reason for disappointment. If you like Alternity, play Alternity. If your concern is a lack of material/support for the out-of-print game, check out Alternity Sci-Fi & Fantasy Generic RPG where there is a huge...

Me too. Fun game. I do wish we'd just taken the damn boat though -- if for no other reason than to try the chase ("dramatic conflict") rules!

Hardcopy might entice to me to subscribe again. And more Alternity adventures.... Carl

It's a pretty legendary store, dating back at least to the late 70s -- and you can still find games there that have been on the shelves since that time! There used to be several CSs around the country (I remember in the early 80s, going to the South FLorida one.). I think the one in Boston is...

I'm sorry to hear it. Cassander, you're in, if you still want it. Carl

Dovaj just cancelled out of the Grimm game and you were originally on the waiting list. So if you still want to play, there's a spot open..

Previous Grimm experience Hey Players! Have any of you played Grimm before? If so, PM me at CM about it. I'm trying to avoid any plot elements that could be spoiled by previous exposure to the Grimm "world". Thanks. Carl

We'll divvy up characters when we get there, but you're all certainly willing to express preferences then...

Good advice here on skills and mechanics. In no particular order, here's a few other circumstances associated with a sailing ship in heavy weather that you may want to consider as possible events or plot devices: -- One of the biggest risks a ship faces in heavy weather is losing all or part...

Fading Suns is a really intriguing setting, but I wouldn't lump it together with the likes of Traveller -- or any other "generic"-type space opera. It seems like a totally different vibe. Carl

I wasn't a member at the time, but my understanding is the RPGA produced a ton of one-shot adventures before they went to the Living Campaign model. It would be great to see those republished. Carl

Alternity and Star Drive. As El Mahdi mentioned Star Drive is particularly low tech, gritty space opera with a VERY well fleshed out universe. I would strongly recommend giving it a try with Alternity, its native system. Alternity has a very loose class system that does a realistic job of...

Count me in, please!

Sorry for the delayed responses, everybody. List updated No, not at all. I don't have a problem with it, but you may not want her around the table. It might be quite dark, violent, and generally adult. Carl
