Last night, I finished up In Harm's Way: Pigboats. The final things were Index creation and a last spell check. I created a pdf, did a last run through, and it looked good. I need to set up the web page, set up a product page, and load it up on PIG games and OBS. I also need to create the print version, which will need a recompilation of the pdf at high resolution, and front and rear covers. That can come a little later. The pdf should be out tomorrow.

So, to get to the point here! If anyone is interested in reviewing the game, contact me.

This is, BTW, the print cover:

Quote from: danskmacabre;565209What's the RPG about? Genre? System etc?

The game is about playing World War II American Submariners in the Pacific. You can play as all officers on a single sub, or with each player commanding a sub, and playing officers on the other boats troupe style. The system is StarCluster 3 - a framework system with most everything defined by plug-in subsystems. Resolution mechanics, for example, are plug-in, with four different resolution methods to choose from in the game book, and more available by DL. It is the seventh game in the In Harm's Way line of military RPGs.

I'm not sure I have time to get a gaming session together and play it, but I'll have a good read through and review it.

That cover is awesome, really evocative.

I'd love to see a play example of this.  It strikes me as a bit of an odd choice, I mean..."Okay, i go over and play some cards in the wardroom."  "Okay you...win.  What now?"  "Well, I'm on duty, so I'm going to go and...look through the periscope."  "You don't see anything.  How about you?" "I'll go to my bunk and think of home." "You...successfully think of home."  Or is this like the crew are "Navy frogmen" who get off the sub and perform derring-do against the Japanese on their island strongholds?

(I'm not slagging the game, I really want to see it!)

First of all, I wanna say that's really good stuff.  How do your resolution mechanics go?
