$250 is a bit rich for me, but I am sorely tempted. Unfortunately, I may be making an international move later this year if a job comes through, so I'm forcing myself to not buy more physical stuff. Still, I would totally build a nautical campaign around this and get lots of use out of it. This is one expensive mini that seems like I would get my money's worth of play out of.

So I'll bite. Why are they producing a sailing ship? It's really cool that they are, and the ship looks neat (and the description of features sounds awesome). But don't the Icons of the Realms 'minis' usually tie into one of the story lines? Is there a seafaring thing I've missed?

Cool if it's totally standalone. Just wondering if I've overlooked an adventure hook.

I mean, it's gonna take almost a year to come out...I can just shave a few bucks off my paychecks and save up for it.


Or I could skip eating for that week.

My birthday is also that week...I'm tempted either which way. I really wanted to run a ocean-based campaign and eventually giving them a giant magical ship was somewhere on the to-do list. Fortunately I haven't started playing yet, if it goes at about the speed my first game did (all my players are college kids), then I could probably make the campaign go from 1-7 and then drop the ship in their laps.

I think it will tie into waterdeep, it has a deep water harbour and it's docks were being rebuilt.

You know that 2,000,000$ kickstarter campaign book for strongholds has one of the strong holds as a pirate ship, that would be awesome for that.

Skullport in Dragon Heist and/or Mad Mage book. In a recent Dragon Talk "Lore Your Should Know" segment, Chris Perkins goes into the history of Skullport. The magic locks that allow access from the ocean down into the subterranean city of Skullport are working again and you can sail into Skullport.

It be nice to have access to the different levels of the ship. But having a masts, crow's nest, rigging, and yardarms would be necessary for me high adventures.
