Save An Adapted Human Colony In Blue Planet Recontact RPG
April 9, 2021 by fcostin
Embark on a new and reimagined RPG adventure, looking into the deep of humanity's survival on the distant planet of Poseidon 2199.
I always think of space exploration through rose coloured glasses, but that is my general outlook on life anyway! But when I imagine space travel and human residence on other alien planets, I seem to imagine life in harmony - everybody holding hands and singing with the Ewoks!
However, Blue Planet: Recontact provides a challenge for life as a human, through every action is a consequence of danger. This sci-fi adventure puts players into the ecological wild frontier of a waterworld entitled Poseidon.

There was an original Blue Planet series of RPGs out around 25 years ago, containing 10 books worth of adventures. But, these have now gone out of print and Biohazard Games along with Gallant Knight Games have taken the core of the beloved RPG, and rehashed the adventure to something more modern and updated.

On Poseidon previously, GEO marshalls had been implemented to keep the peace. And by peace, I mean an outright takeover. You will oversee the combination of humanity's greed to find new alien technology and ecology which threatens the existence of humanity itself, being pit against survival at its' very finest.
The Blue Planet franchise boasts its detailed setting providing players with a new and distorted world to explore, endure and survive. In this campaign, Recontact, a new fleet embarks to Poseidon to reconnect with a lost colony of humans 69 years after abandonment. This abandoned colony have taken and adapted on the planet, being pit against indisputably powerful enemies lurking in the depths of the ocean.
You can check out the reimagined RPG of Blue Planet: Recontact on Kickstarter today.
Did you get a chance to play through the older versions of this campaign?

I played the original back when it came out. Really imaginative setting. And the injury tables were amazingly brutal. If you got shot and didn’t get immediate medical aid you rolled on a table, %chance that you just died. If you didn’t, then roll on the next table, again with a %chance of death. And so on, picking up stat decreases and flaws along the way. Stopped any out of character heroic tomfoolery. If you weren’t a combat character and got into a combat situation, you were rightly scared. Brilliant! Also, sentient orcas and dolphins with remote drones.
How could you be against sentient orcas and dolphins with drones?! It does sound like an incredible RPG!
Ooh a new frontier we could find dinosaurs or some unatanium or adamantium.
I know! Who knows what could turn up in the deep!
Interesting but that buy-in price to get both books seems a bit high, and add on postage I think i’ll wait and see if it ever gets to retail.
Sounds like a really interesting setting. Have downloaded the Primer/Quick start to give it a read over.
