    Aquatic terrain?

    The PCs in my undersea game are beneath such a place, The Jungle of Lost Ships . One might also have an interesting encounter with a castaway prison hulk. Also, Shrieking Eels:

    Aquatic terrain?

    The aforementioned water dwarves are a chemosynthetic race, dwelling near white smokers and black smokers (hydrothermal vents) and using the plumes to forge calciferous weapons and armor. Also: - algal blooms ( red tide ) - Sharktopus

    Aquatic terrain?

    - floatsam/jetsam: possibly submerged just beneath the surface. Perhaps the debris from an entire seaside town is now adrift and populated by persons unknown. - ghost ship/fleet: either the ruins of a ship now manned by undead, or perhaps an incorporeal ship that is a ghost itself. -...

    Dragon Magazine articles worth re-reading

    #125 - "Ecology of the Greenhag" by Nigel Findley. That one article shaped all of my games that followed. #114 - The Witch class; still my favorite incarnation of the witch class, thus far.

    An Undersea Stormwrack Adventure

    I have occasionally posted undersea expositions in the General Forum and in the Gamers Seeking Gamers Forum. Given that my current campaign uses the 3.5e ruleset in the World of Greyhawk and draws heavily from Stormwrack, I thought I would garner input from a more focussed forum. The...

    Undersea Adventures: Comments, Concerns, & Concepts

    You should watch the trailer for Aquaria, then, as the game centers around just that; a young sea elf bard girl learning magic through song. I've always wanted to combine Aquaria and Loom, to devise a bard that was all about the music - channeling a "universal song".

    Need some appropriate traps for my kobold lair

    I recommend visiting your local McDonald's PlayPlace for inspiration, as kids and kobolds are similarly-sized. Ever watched kids running through those tunnels, ambushing one another at the foot of the slide, or screaming loudly to fill the play set with echoes? Bonus XP if you survive the...

    Half Annis/Half-Troll

    To be fair, if you want a more original annis why not go back to the source? Black Annis Imagine a blue-skinned troll girl, sequestered in a remote cave by the tribal shaman, a witch of great renown. It was foretold in dreams and omens that the child would one day lead her tribe in a mighty...

    Half Annis/Half-Troll

    I did that with the storm hags. As the annis does not beget a new hag, and the urge for hags to produce new hags is strong, the annis found the means through apparent suicide. For example, when an annis is approached by a will o'wisp, the annis drains the death emanations of the wisp, instead of...

    What would happen in your game?

    The halfling laughs, as he easily walks beneath the bar, thus escaping certain head trauma.

    Amusing House Rules

    House Rule for my undersea campaign: "Human PCs are allowed... for as long as they can hold their breath. Thereafter, they are required to take one of two prestige classes; Anchor or Bait."

    Half Annis/Half-Troll

    There have been newer hag ecologies, but I tend to refer back to "Ecology of the Greenhag", by Nigel Findley in Dragon #125. The article details the greenhag as the daughter of a night hag and human or elf, while the annis is the daughter of a greenhag and ogre or hill giant. Though the annis...
