Description

Little Fish in a Big Pond" is a science-fiction RPG using the SPI Universe rules (see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Universe_RPG). The rules are available in PDF format.

Characters in the game will explore new planets, engage in rescue missions, transport cargo -- basically anything that helps them earn a living. Numerous weapons, vehicle, scientific, technical, interpersonal, and environmental skills are employed.

The name refers to the fatc that, while the characters go about their adventure, larger political/scientific/economic forces are at work complicating things. A "milk run" hauling cargo from one planet intrasystem to another becomes more difficult if, say, war breaks out between the two planets.

The current adventure has a full complement of players, but we do occasionally have dropouts. Also, in another two to three months I expect to wrap up the current adventure, at which point I'll be looking for one or two more players to join the campaign.
