Update (19 Jun 23):

As I mentioned many weeks ago, maintaining the seldom used Wordpress side of this site became too much of a bother, especially as parts of Wordpress are constantly updating and some those updates break things -- like access to this forum. I'm finally had time to remove it. The forum should stop disappearing from view now.

As many of you know, my wife has had MS for about 20 years now. It has gotten to the stage where helping her takes a lot more of my time that it used to. This means visits to this board have become few and far between. I'm looking for a couple of members willing to help moderate this board. Note that if your idea of good moderation is anything similar the way boards like RPG.net are moderated, do not bother volunteering. Good moderation isn't about forcing your opinions, ideological positions, or biases on members via your power to gag and ban, it is about being helpful to all members (even those you don't like/disagree with), cleaning up after spammers, and enforcing the rules with the lightest hand possible and only doing so when the rules are actually broken. If you are interested in any message board moderation position on any board because of the supposed "power" it will give you, you are (IMHO) the wrong person for the job. If you are interested, PM me. It may taken quite a while to reply, unfortunately.

Song of the Symbi

Post by randalls »

A setting specific science fiction variant of Searchers of the Unknown. From the intro:

Human colonists from a distant star discovered a large planet covered in dense nutrient-rich fluid with a thick exotic atmosphere and attempted to terra-form it using machinery lowered into the dense jungle. Genetic research led to the creation of humanoids whose bodies leeched off the nutrients in the exotic atmosphere and waters to feed, heal and breathe. These altered humans were called Symbi (from ‘symbiotes’).

Centuries after the colonists departed to wage war in a distant galaxy, the Symbi remain, awaiting the ‘Gods’ return.

The terra-forming resulted in the atmosphere being less dense in places, which has had the effect of stunting the flora and fauna in these areas, now marshland where the nutrient waters rise to knee-height. Further beyond the terra-formed areas are swamps, where the waters are ankle-height. Areas beyond the swamps are covered in dense Jungles, where the waters lie beneath a woven ‘crust’ of seaweed. This is the closest the PCs will get to walking on dry land. Each day the party travels the Referee should roll on Table 1 to ascertain what the environment is. The ancient terra-forming machines often hibernate during self-repair, causing the atmosphere and surface to rapidly revert to swamp or even Jungle overnight.
