“The last big tidal surge in East Anglia was in 2013, when lots of coastal defences were close to being overrun.

“It’s very interesting to see what it implies regarding different dates and warming scenarios, but it’s not the full picture – it depends on what we do, especially with sea defences, and what happens with the weather systems which affect tidal surges. “What it’s showing is what areas would be affected given a certain sea level rise. “There’s a lot to this tool,” said Rob Larter, a marine geophysicist at British Antarctic Survey. The global average mean surface temperature for the period from 2017 to 2021 (based on data until July) is among the warmest on record, estimated at 1.06☌ to 1.26☌ above pre-industrial (1850–1900) levels, according to the World Meteorological Organisation.Ĭlimate Central has now upgraded the elevation data and the sea level projections it uses to determine outcomes, with results that can be seen in this interactive map – rises that could leave Waterbeach, Ely, Fen Ditton and Chesterton below the annual flood level by 2030, far before reaching a 3☌ rise. Since 2017 global temperatures have risen relentlessly. In 2017 the Cambridge Independent reported on its ‘Surging Seas Risk Zone’ map, which showed how a rise of 3☌ would impact East Anglia, with sea levels rising, breaking through The Wash which, without proper defences, would potentially flood the region from King’s Lynn to Cambridge.

The nautical steampunk setting is flexible enough to allow game masters to fill in their own story while skipping all the hard work involved in creating conflicts and rewards for players. Players can take quick character classes or customize their skill options. Rising Tide is designed to work for a variety of play styles. If their voyage is successful, they’ll have enough treasure to repair their ship and set sail again. After facing harrowing occurrences and close encounters with enemies, the group may gain ship conditions like Failing Power or Mutinous Mutterings. A Rising Tide group may want libraries and laboratories to study the strange phenomena they encounter or weapons and armor to defeat opponents.įollowing the innovative resource management of Torchbearer, players supply their ship with resources like food and fuel in port and then engage in calculated risk-taking to support their venture. Players are given numerous options for customizing and upgrading their vessel based on the interests and strategies they choose to pursue. The mechanics of Rising Tide allow strategic management of the players’ vessel and its resources. Steampunk Contraptions: Outfitting both explorers and their ships, the Inventor class builds impossible devices based on discovered schematics from the lost Empire.Weird Science: The Empire’s advanced technology was possible because of a malleable, highly radioactive metal that puts off a soft green light. Sailors call this substance “glow.” The Scientist class uses carefully calibrated bursts of glow radiation to create spell-like changes in physics.Clockwork automata guard the Empire’s ruins and even old Empire ships are said to still prowl these treacherous waters.
