SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

If you're interested:

Here's a link to the actual play thread for one of my current In Harm's Way games. This one is 13 year old English midshipmen in the caribbean in 1795. My other current IHW game is older American commanders in the Mediterranean in 1803, but I don't have an actual play for that...

Very cool!  I remember reading this by chance when I was looking for reviews of In Harm's Way.  What mesmerized me was the command you had over the genre and period.  Your descriptions and NPC dialogue were spot on for the period, at least to this "saw-Master-and-Commander-one-time" newbie.  

    Bloody hell.  I have to read some O'Brien now...

Thanks, Samarkand! I have read an enormous amount of period fiction, as well as many histories and technical books, so I'm quite comfortable in the times. The two players are aquainted with the literature, but no more than that, and I think do an excellent job!

Any time I can inspire someone to read O'Brian is a triumph in my book! :D

After a long hiatus due to computer problems, the campaign has restarted. :D
