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.

Flying Mice Games and Better Mousetrap Games are proud to announce the release of the fourth in the In Harm's Way series of military roleplaying games - http://jalan.flyingmice.com/wildblue.html">In Harm's Way:Wild Blue.

In Harm's Way: Wild Blue is a roleplaying game about modern mercenaries, the world they live in, and the things they do.

In Harm's Way: Wild Blue uses the StarCluster 2.5 System, with some significant differences:

    * Play Fighter, Strike, Slick, or Gunship pilots, or SpecOps, Infantry, Armored, or Brown Water Navy characters.
    * Play characters with Army, Marine, Air Force, or Naval backgrounds from anywhere in the world.

    * Competitive Play: There can be only one Leader. One hero. Is it going to be you, or the guy sitting next to you?
    * Create your own Mercenary Company and shape it to do the things you want to do.
    * Create Contracts for your Company, and negotiate for what you want and need.
    * Dogfighting system adapted to modern jets from the IHW:Aces In Spades and IHW:Aces And Angels games.
