Eberron Skyship Complications?

[temporalhiccup]

I really had a better first post in mind, but I'm two hours away from a game and missing a very important element for my players. Help!

Just the other day I read in a Dungeon (or was it Dragon?) magazine about putting in more Eberron skyship flavor. The article provided mechanics for lightning, buffeting winds, etc.

I oohed, ahhed, and even copied bits of it to use in my underwater campaign (refluffing it as water rushing into an underwater city). I heavily edited it though, deleting bits I didn't see as necessary.

Tonight I have another game I'm running (actually, it's my boyfriend's game and I'm just stepping in for him while he enjoys being a player). I wanted to use the same set of mechanics. Try as I might, I can't find the blasted magazine, and I can't remember what issue # it was.

Help?

Worse comes to worse, I'm just going to take an air/water/storm elemental and treat it like a hazard instead of a monster.

Would appreciate any help, thanks

Sorry that I can't help with any information about Eberron skyships, but I did want to say welcome to ENworld!

I hope someone comes through for you, but if not then refluffing storm elemental seems like a really reasonable go.

Dragon Magazine issues #180 has the 8 page article titled Aerial Battles that features the use of airships extensively. I believe this is the article you're referring to. It will give you DM tips for running airships as well as various optional rules and encounter ideas.

The irony is that Plane Sailing cannot help you with your question about plane sailing.

Ah, you see, skyships are not plane sailing, they are volume sailing
