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.

As of this writing (2004-01-05) I'm looking for a player to take over an
abandoned character.  Previous events in the game are all acrhived and can
be summarized fairly quickly.

In another two or three months I'll be looking for one or two additional
players to join the campaign.
