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.

I might be more interested if I had at least half a clue what you were talking about.
The main problem with government is the difficulty of pressing charges against its directors.

Given a choice of two out of three M&Ms, the human brain subconsciously tries to justify the two M&Ms chosen as being superior to the M&M not chosen.

Sorry Narf!

I've been posting APs here, and figured anyone who would be intrigued had been reading them. It's American submarine officers in WWII.

Hmm...The idea doesn't grab me as presented, sorry.

Cool. Don't blame you. I doubt anyone here but maybe David R would be in the least interested as presented, and I don't do the elevator pitch thing.

Yeah, I'm interested. For some time now I have wanted to do a Clint Eastwood Flags of Our Fathers/Letters from Iwo Jima type campaign. "Strictly historical" if you know what I mean.... with none of my "alt subversions". I think a shadow war between American and Japanese* members of the Silent Service played out in the depths of the oceans, sounds pretty interesting.

*Haven't done my research yet, but I think they had the largest fleet during WWII. I could be mistaken.

Regards,
David R

There were several nations that had large and powerful submarine fleets during WWII - the Japanese were one. However, I designed the game around Americans in the Pacific. I was originally going to do my standard "you can be from any one of these nations" thing, like in Aces And Angels, but for this, the complexity floored me. I figured I could always release supplements detailing the other fleets.

BTW - Watching Flags and Letters back to back was awesome. You sometimes see and recognize the actors in the other film from the opposite perspective. Fascinating!

I'll give it a shot -- my group is looking for something new to play.  'Pigboats' maybe strange enough...
