Whoa dude. Tim, take a second to organize your thoughts!
Your last message was a little difficult to read.
But you have some good ideas. However, that is a lot of
work and a lot of material. My suggestion is as follows:
go with it and see how large it gets. If it gets to big,
then the best thing might be to spin it off as it's own
book. But don't think about that yet. Just see what
happens to it as it develops. BTW, I can send you my
conversions of that Cyberpunk unofficial "Wavebook." I axed
a some things, changed all the names then converted them
into SR. That should make your part of the project a little
easier.
Also, let's try not to get too goofy with the toys. A
dolphin-shaped one-man sub? That seems to go at light
speed? Packed with more gear than a whole modern sub?
Sorry, don't think so. Stay as realistic as possible.
Please. No SeaQuest DSV-type crap. And stay away from
other sea-movies for the time being.
Other than that, it seems like you've got the ideas and
energy to get this part of the project off the ground. Go
to it!

Okay, under water bits, This is from a quick look through my
own shadowrun
colllection,
Cal Free Pg. 78 Kalamri Inc owns a rather large Aquasphere
of the big sur,
supporting up to 15000 people ( Mostly corpers so lots of
extractio...interesting (tim notes down adventure idea) any
way
Aqua Arcna also owns a semi aqua sphere of the big
sur, ofiicially (heh!)
containing 35 people.
Pg 32 of Dunky's he leaves 5 mil for the first group to
build a self contained
colony with more than 100 people.
Right now my own stuff: (tying in with the aussie stuff)
there definatley
should be a research center off the GB reef, Japan would
probably have fishing
factroies (if they haven't F*ked the water up) and
geothermal (pacific rim of
fire) power. China (heh!) russia might go for that cold war
type seceret
submarine bases, (bond theme comes up dah dah dah de dah
dah!), Mining
colonies (can yo say ABYSS!) should be quite common, and as
said before
Research colonies,. There also should be a loada vehicles
included, (do you
remember the seaquest where the bratty kid designs a dolphin
shaped 1 man sub?
I want one, actually all sorts of equipment should be
included, If you want I
go through All my (nerps) stuff and get of the
Bio/cyberware, weapons (bet you
get the fools with tazers......(tazer grenades?)), and gear.
Magic is pretty
well covered but a few more spells can't hurt. incidently,
in the abyss they
had that deep sea diving suit with the liquid in, that is
now possible, in
shadowrun the stats are in shadow tech pg 93 but they say
it's a blood
substitute (it is possible now just not widley publised).
errr god i am
babbling. Contacts archetypes and critters would all be
good, Basically a
whole new setting with all the fancey bits. ( i have already
started on the
contacts and bio/cyberware, Is it okay if clavin give
technical backup on the
Bio/cyberware)
Tim Coxon. The babbling one.
@;) <= it's elvis!
