ship happens

In the 1860s the Royal navy launched one of those weird ships, the kind that remains in history as only a footnote, a casual piece of trivia. That ship was the armoured gunboat HMS Waterwitch. Waterwitch was built with pump-jet propulsion, not unlike a jetski, or one of the Japnese Hyabusa class...

This is a “half quest” of Persona/Worm, I have a little trouble writing so I will put this, give me your suggestions, and by the end of the week I chose the ones who better fit the story and use them, the only things I will keep: Taylor has a new wave friend (not Vicky but close) Taylor is...

Hey, so it's that time of year again when I once again look through my list of games that I have ran previously and go. "Which of these played well and failed because of my incompetence or technical failures." And this time its AASW...again. I like the freedom of the setting so, sue me. So...

"The world is engulfed in flames. The dreaded Abyssal threat rages across the world, slowly choking the world of its lifeblood. The navies have proven useless, and the Air forces with them. No matter how hard Humanity tried, they could not do a thing against the threat. Many believed that it was...

Welcome, one and all to the rebooted Shadow Memoria. As @SeismicGuide is currently unable to GM, I have taken over as GM, with the assistance of @Firebird Zoom and @Poteitoku as Co-GMs. Premise: Alternate History/Alternate Universe/Actually Historical shipgirls wake up standing on the ocean...

What the hell is this? This is a videogame. It comes from the small studio Killerfish Games but received heavy input from the subsim.com forums, including voiceacting help. The game is surprisingly professional for all that. In it, you command a US submarine operating in the general theater of...

Short Summary: In which Taylor’s only memories are about how to escalate until everyone respects you, Salem tries to deal with being a single mom, and all of Remnant develops an acute case of acarophobia. Honest Summary: Taylor, but she controls grimm bugs and acts like Salem’s BFF. Expect...

Well then, there was one last nation I had to cover before I moved fully to RtW2. There's not much to say, this was one of the Custom Nations I enjoyed playing with the most. It was also one of those playthroughs that I always wanted to do, and had the idea of following something more...

Come, gather round young (and not so young) readers, and take part in the adventures of a new story! Rule the Waves 2 has been gifted upon us by the mighty Frederik and thus it is time to explore the lives (and deaths) of thousands of sailors as we take to sea under the command of the mighty...

December 31st, 2019 21:00 UTC "The Night the World Stood Still" Multiple Locations across the globe Abyssal Forces have launched surprise air-raids across the globe. Casualties Number well over one hundred thousand, and are still climbing. The United Nations scramble to complete the altered...

Preface: Hello, and welcome to Enduring the Tides of Darkness; a RP set in early 2020, where the war against the abyssals is in its infancy. Scenario: The world stands united against the abyssal thread, with only a few Radical Nations (Mostly Landlocked) refusing to join the UN's efforts to...

The streets of Polyapavlosk are almost deserted at sunrise, especially when the coldest of winds blows up across the Dakazyn Sea. It is the southernmost port-city in Kieva, a barely industrialised nation being dragged kicking and screaming into the next century by it’s parliament, much to the...

Shipping It Stargate Style We know what happened to the Odyssey. The bubble timeline never occurred and Teal'c saved the day by sacrificing decades of his life. Or do we? Tampering with time is rarely that simple. What happens when reality shatters and the Ascended have to pick up the pieces? A...

All right, so it is time to get west and play at the country that happily sits there counting money. As usual, 20% tech, medium fleets. Yeah, I know I'm playing in pretty much 'easy mode' with these guys. Still, never underestimate my ability to fail in new and exciting ways! :D...

--- A small subset of American bases affected --- The sea awoke at midnight from its sleep, And round the pebbly beaches far and wide I heard the first wave of the rising tide Rush onward with uninterrupted sweep; A voice out of the silence of the deep, A sound mysteriously multiplied As...

Oh no, it's that guy again! Welcome to yet another weird experience in Rule the Waves! This time, Sweden will be put to the grinder as I do... things to it. This is the skjold's Sweden mod, which I have no idea if it is different from natogeneral's version, to be honest. There are some...

The leaves leisurely descended, each bearing their unique Fall attire. One flutters and lands on your feet, and you pick it up. It’s a bright red, almost pink, like it was trying to be a Sakura petal and just failed. Still, it’s memorable. And it serves as a prop for a useful life lesson. You...

While Waves Of Change is my main project, I've had a couple of shorter miscellaneous ideas that I wanted to do something with eventually, and decided to go ahead and throw here. It'll probably be fairly varied, from serious to silly and everything in between, but you can probably expect painful...

The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in it’s net of wonders forever. Jacques Yves Cousteau If you could fly like on of the many migratory flocks of seagulls and cormorants, high above the sea, and look down, Pyatine would look like a cyst of dark grey-purple metal among the vast dark...

Alright gentlemen, made some more adjustments to keep it up to date with the map mod. Previous testing didn't give me any major headaches beyond the ones that come with this country sucking more than Spain. So, as I said, the main difference are the added possessions (Cape Verde and Timor), to...

Hello everyone, and here I am again, screwing up like a champ as usual! On the last weeks, natogeneral released a pack of custom nations with smaller nations, cue my surprise when one of those was my favourite runt of the litter, Portugal. Yeah, in the beginning of the XXth Century we were in...

Shippers! We know them, we love them, we are occasionally confused by their zeal when it comes to their specificity. I'm hankering to discuss the whys of such zealotry, as well as what peoples thoughts are on ships and shipping in general! Now I for one don't...

OF FROZEN SEAS AND BITTER SKIES -------------- It has been years since the drowning. That calamitous event where the earth broke apart, and sank beneath the waves. Some say it happened a millennia ago, some say it happened but a few decades past, it is hard to say. Sense of time and space...
