Atlantis is a word
that conjures up mystery and intrigue when mentioned,
and like the fabled city of legend, the way station
of Atlantis acts as a magnet for explorers, vagabonds
and tourists alike. Located in the middle of the Black
Atlantic Ocean and protected only by a handful of
judges, Atlantis is a port of call for ships, subs
and a focal hub of the amazing Trans-Atlantic Tunnel
that connects Mega-City One to Brit-Cit. Pirates are
always a broadside away and boardroom dealings and
politics work to drain every ounce of willpower from
the citizens employed to make sure the station runs
properly. Atlantis is a place where the rich and famous
stand above the common man and where it is as simple
to disappear from sight as it is to board the Zip
monorail.
This book is a detailed guide to
the amazing ocean based station of Atlantis, its occupants
and everyday life in one of the harshest environments
on Earth. Games Masters will find a wealth of background
information that can be used in either a citizen or
judges campaign, including new feats, skills, prestige
classes and equipment, as well as a whole host of
other information to whet the appetite of both Games
Master and player alike.
You will find details of the citizens
who live and work on the station, as well as the worst
dregs of humanity that prey upon them. Smuggling and
piracy are commonplace and Games Masters will find
details on running pirate campaigns and one off adventures.
The judges of Sea Watch are the last line of defence
on Atlantis and it is these brave men and women who
work tirelessly to keep the populace under control
and stamp down hard on crime. Players can now choose
from a number of new judge Prestige Classes from the
members of Sea Watch to Harbour and Ocean Patrol,
or investigate illegal aliens as an Immigration Control
Judge. A wealth of information is provided for the
Games Master to seed adventure ideas or run an entire
campaign located on Atlantis, and details of the station,
the Trans-Atlantic Tunnel and Poseidon the Justice
Departments underwater facility are provided.
This book also provides details
on piracy and the pirates who operate in the Black
Atlantic and some of the other oceans of the world
and provides details on some of the strange and fearsome
creatures found in the darkest depths of the Black
Atlantic.
So whether you plant on partaking
in a game of Aquaball in the Seaview Park, diving
at the Jacques Cousteau Underwater Training centre,
or just waiting for the connection to Brit-Cit, The
Rookies Guide to Atlantis offers you all this and
much more.
