Piracy will become a major problem. Merchants and prospectors will arrive in droves, hoping to get rich. The race to plunder the continent is on - and the PCs will be able to say: "I was there in the beginning!"Seriously, though - go buy the Blue Planet RPG. It's science fiction, but it should give you all sorts of adventure ideas for just this kind of campaign.</blockquote>
