And they can afford to hire the best - the island is a tax-free haven for some of the richest individuals in the world. But even the best CHROME cyborg operatives aren't prepared for the deadly threat that overshadows not just this South Pacific paradise - but the entire planet. CHROME is a SLUG roleplaying game (rules available online; they're only slightly longer than this message) run by Davis Nicolsen (davross@usa.net).

Wealthy, selfish, ruthless and powerful, the parents share an enmity that has become the birthright of their offspring. Violence, murder, lust, love, poison, drugs... a myriad of politicians, clerics, lawmakers, swords for hire, swashbucklers, pirates, spies, thieves, mercenaries, and even lovers... yes, they all exist in the world of Verona Beach. Now, one year after the tragic suicides of Romeo and Juliet which brought peace to Verona Beach, the vast majority of its citizens are finding that peace is a good way of life. But not everyone wants to keep it that way.... Verona Beach is a freeform roleplaying game run by Mariann T. McDermott (deerskin@erols.com).
