So what you are telling me is that this is Barotrauma, the Tabletop game?
Honestly, I don't know, I haven't played Barotrauma and just had to Google what it was. :-) It's mostly inspired by Aquanox.
Hello! Would you classify this as a horror game?
Hi, it has no horror mechanics and is not written as a horror game. It's meant to be something like deep sea Firefly. But since it's all happening deep underwater, it can be creepy and have horror elements. But it's all up to the GM and players, there is no mechanical support for it.
Thank you so much!
This is really killer stuff! Your factions are a ton of fun, and this gets me most of the way to 24XX: Terror from the Deep...
Thank you so much for your comment. I love the game, especially as it's genre is not covered much in TTRPG. Glad I am not the only one enjoying it.
Are you planning on translating this to german?
Hey there, I do not plan to.
can you add community copies?
I think I already did just now? First time, so it might not work right yet.
