Best Undersea Supplements?

[Aus_Snow]

Second the 2e blue book ('Of Ships and The Sea'?). I've got some good use out of that. And 'Death Beneath the Waves' - good value, that.

The Sea of Fallen Stars was essentially an entire underwater campaign set in the eponymous region in FR during AD&D period. While ruleswise it was weak, it certainly has a lot of material for inspiration on the societies of underwater races.

Thanks for the recommendations!

Besides the 2E "The Sea Devils" which of those sources has good info on Sahuagin? They are my primary antagonists (of course).

"The Sea Devils" is the penultimate D&D supplement regarding sahuagin, IMO. If you have that one, you would never need another, though I believe Mongoose released a Slayers Guide to Sahuagin many moons ago. I wish Skip Williams had written similar supplements for ixitxachitl and morkoth.

If you ever need to incorporate aboleth into your game, you can get a plethora of ideas from "Lords of Madness" (WoTC).

In my current undersea campaign, the party is in the region of The Sinking Isle, home to sahuagin and kraken.

I borrowed a bit from the shalarin race, in that book. I made my locathah a hermaphroditic race with a caste system based on skin coloration and patterning (they are colored in a similar fashion to larger saltwater angelfish).

U3 The Final Enemy and the 1AD&D Monster Manual. U3 is all about them and is their first appearance in D&D. MM has over a page on them as monsters.

If you add in overseas stuff like sailing, pirates, floating cities, island lairs, blah, blah, blah, of course, that opens up a huge arena of great 3PP OGL/d20 products.

What are the better 3.0/3.5 era undersea oriented books?

Okay, so it's not a gaming book, but I find this one invaluable: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Ocean-American-Museum-Natural-History/dp/0756636922/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_b"]OCEAN[/ame]

Even though it was 2e, if you can find Of Ships and the Sea you're in luck- that was the best aquatic book published, imho. Very cool, with a lot of good info about the underwater environment that hasn't been seen again in anything that I've seen.
