I know I'm replying by the list but I waited Gurth to hear this too. I'd
like to see your stuff om underseas, and I would be willing to write the
Nerps Undersea section with you. However, I'd like to not finish it until
Cyber Pirates is out. Even though it is a Carib League suppliment I think
it's going to have enough ocean information that I don't want to have our
suppliment made obsolete as soon as it comes out. Don't get me wrong though
I want to start work on this stuff I just want to push back any possible
release date. I haven't seen any dates on NAGTW yet so if it comes out
after Cyber Pirates then I'm making an idiot out of myself. If it comes out
before then maybe we could turn it into a NERPS book of its own. Ideas?

BTW: Sorry for the lateness of the reply, been rearranging my life but I
think I'm done now. :)

What I've been working on is a self sufficient underwater
lab. In a nutshell the lab floats below the surface just
deep enough to avoid wave turbulance, but not so deep that
water pressure becomes a hassle (helium/oxygen mixes,
problems cooking food, talking in funny voices, alteration
of taste and smell, etc). What I've got could easily be
expanded into an aqualogy (the volume of an aircraft
carrier perhaps) which I think would make a great location
for an adventure. BTW, the lab idea will be used for a
murder mystery in my campaign (Twelve Little Indians Under
the Sea :). When I've got some time (my life's been busy
too :) I'll send you (Sasquatch) my notes in detail and my
general ideas.

I don't think (I hope) that Cyber Pirates is going to touch
on this subject, so I'm going to keep working on it (when
I'm not spending time on my relationship, my campaign, my
friends, ect :)

That reminds me: in Chicago, there's a lab in the lake, run by the
university of Chicago. I'm not sure if it's underwater as the text is a
bit vague, but check pages 38 and 39 of Bug City for a few lines about it.

How about something like the aircraft carrier with all the little boats
clustered around it, from Snow Crash?
