Biohazard Games (but published by Fantasy Flight Games). It's a fairly hard, near-future science fiction game based on the colony world of Poseidon. Poseidon is about 98% water-covered (hence the name). The setting is detailed and tries hard to be 'realistic.' Difficult political and ethical choices are writ large in the background. The technology level is more biopunk than cyberpunk, with many people having (minor) genetic modifications.

We've played a few campaigns of Blue Planet.

  • The Longshore Crew. You can read the writeups from the game and a few resources for it.
  • Red Sky Charters, a game of freelance gophers based in Harmony.
  • Salisbury ERT, a game of rescue workers in the far distant Outback on Poseidon. (The town is now called Shenley in the Recontact edition of the game.)
