The Undersea Environment is a 1983 role-playing game supplement, written by J. Andrew Keith for Traveller, and published by Gamelords.

Contents

The Undersea Environment is a supplement that details alien oceans, including factors in the depths that affect characters such as pressure, gravity, temperature, the effects of decompression on divers, and undersea communication and combat.[1]

Publication history

The Undersea Environment was written by J. Andrew Keith, with art by William H. Keith Jr., and was published in 1983 by Gamelords as a digest-sized 48-page book.[2]

A companion adventure, The Drenslaar Quest was written by the same author.

Reception

Tony Watson reviewed The Mountain Environment and The Undersea Environment together in The Space Gamer No. 72.[1] Watson commented that "The tight focus and elaborate detail of these supplements is both their strength and weakness. Just about all aspects of mountain and undersea environments are covered, but I wonder just how much of this material is really going to make its way into the average adventure."[1]
