And while I'm at it, why not do the Tritons too. I decided to go with the old D&D interpretation of Tritons being alien outsiders with a rigid sense of justice and superiority. Yet, while old-school Tritons were defenders of the multiverse's oceans, these guys are more like explorers, settlers...

Now for the Crabfolk! I'm a bit worried these guys are overpowered for a +1 level adjustment, let me know what you think. Crabfolk - Medium Monstrous Humanoid (aquatic) - +2 Constitution, +2 Wisdom, -2 Dexterity, -2 Charisma: Crabfolk have very strong, adaptable bodies, and keen insight, but...

It's funny that you mention that actually. Something I haven't brought up yet is cosmology. Since I'm big on planar adventures, I decided to change things up a little bit and add another plane for Pelagia called Annu, the Lost Sea. Annu is a spiritual reflection of the planet's natural world...

I feel like I'm starting to reference things about my setting that I haven't explained yet, so I'll start going into more detail on what I have. I'm still very interested in feedback (even the negative kind). I'll start with my core races. The Merfolk are basically "the humans of the sea", and...

I thought it would be better to post a new thread for this. Underwater Campaign Setting Any sort of feedback you can give would be helpful. Even if you just want to talk about some of your own experiences with designing or playing an underwater setting, it's all good. Also, who has actually...

The Great Reefs are the more cosmopolitan melting pots, where many different races can be found living together (although I think it would mostly be merfolk and locathah). I imagined the sea elves being very tied to their kelp forests, with at least one large city as their capital. The Tritons...

Thanks Kitsune! The history stuff is really helpful, along with the other ideas too. The reef cities are the part of the setting that I have the clearest picture of. The place where I would start my players out would be Athune Reef in the north. Athune is sort of a frontier/gold-rush type of...

Hi, so I'm kind of new to the EN World forums, and I have some ideas for a campaign setting that I wanted to bounce around. I've always been kind of obsessed with the idea of running a game in a fully aquatic setting, meaning under the ocean's surface, and characters with swim speeds and gills...

I'm not sure how I'd ever track her down. Whenever I google her name I either get stuff that's tangentially related to The Deep, or some kind of New Age religion site. It doesn't really matter, I think the book is still pretty awesome as it is, just a bit messy. Has anyone checked out Sunken...

I loved Blue Planet! Great inspiration for my underwater coral cities. And those hive-shrimp are definitely making it into my game in a giant form. I bought The Deep over the summer, and it has probably been the most useful book I own for designing a believable underwater campaign setting. A...

I meant that underwater environments seem limiting to those who haven't played in them. I think when you consider that your characters can (in effect) fly and travel at high speeds through currents, there are plenty of options. I've always liked the idea of a deep-sea D&D game as well...

Aeolius, I'm not sure if you're still looking at any of these threads, but I wanted to reassure you that I think there's plenty of interest out there for undersea gaming! I'm pretty new to D&D (and I'm also very new to posting on forums, you might notice) but I've always had an interest in...
