Hello everyone,
I'm planning my "pseudo-realistic but with a bunch of wizards and sorcerers and lizard men and orcs" pirate adventure, and I've got my copy of "Skull and Bones," "Stormwrack" and a bunch of other supplements and ideas.
However, what I don't have is a bunch of deck plans for d20 ships and pirate ships. (And by deck plans, I mean with 5x5 squares so I can use them in combat situations without having to basically make them from scratch.) I bought the "Seafarer's Handbook" because some reviews said that it had ship maps, but I was disappointed to find that the ship maps were really tiny, were drawn from an isometric (rather than top-down) perspective, and all the ship designs were for The Hexblade/Spellthief's Flying Turtle Spellship and the Dwarven Druid's Whaleship and other typical D&D3.5 "fantasy settings should have no connection to reality whatsoever" designs. Rather than more historically oriented ship designs, which I crave... gimme the baseline of something close to reality, and I can always fantasy 'em out later.
So I was wondering... has anyone bought the "Corsair" PDF from Adamant Entertainment? It sounds very close to what I'm looking for, although I get the impression that it only has one actual 5x5 gridded ship plan, and not multiple ship plans.
Jason
