Underground or underwater or just "In the city"?

Post by ReHerakhte »

Small article about some underwater habitats used by Jacques Cousteau's team in the 1960s
http://www.messynessychic.com/2013/05/2 ... -dwellers/

It lead me to think again about a game book from Ianus Games called "Sub-Attica". Ianus Games produced a supplemental line for Cyberpunk 2020 called "Night's Edge".
This Alternate Reality Universe took horror/supernatural elements and placed them into the Cyberpunk 2020 world. "Sub-Attica" sees the PCs placed into a deep sea habitat that is being used as a prison.

While much of the material written for Night's Edge was scenario fodder, they produced one major sourcebook which I think is very useful for Dark Conspiracy.
The "Dark Metropolis" book is described as a city-life sourcebook with information to enhance city adventures (including such things as Cyberpunk 2020 rules for creating and running pirate radio stations, for heatwaves and riots and also festivities for the modern day).

Funny you mention Sub Attica. It was written by one of my favourite RPG authors - Lucien Soulban (who definitely has the best sounding name!). I owned a copy for a long while, and only got rid of it in the 'Great Purge of 2007' when I moved across the country.

I might have to splash out and grab a PDF copy as it is going cheap!

I remember getting my copy of Sub-Attica (sometime in the mid-1990s) and upon reading it thinking I HAVE to convert this adventure to my DarkCon campaign. Sadly we never got to start Sub-Attica but I would have dearly loved to have seen the look on the Player's faces when some of the plot points were revealed!

And as for Mr Soulban, yeah, his name is almost perfect for some NPCs I had envisaged for a DarkCon game.
