The answer is about a quarter of the stories deal with the sea as an antagonist. Have you read 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea? Exploration of the mysteries of the deeps is a very large theme in the book. The reason I dropped the names is that I expected people to be familiar with them, thus not needing to type a lengthy description of what the books make obvious. The surface of the sea is every much a part of the 'environment' of the ocean as its depths, and I suspect that it is also what will garner the most attention in Stormwrack, along with the shore.Gee, because explorers never go exploring on the ocean, ever. (<--sarcasm) D&D is a game of many things, plate armor is only a portion of it. D&D has a lot of fighter type classes that run from ranger to swashbuckler to barbarian that can survive just fine without the 100 pounds of armor (By the way except for some jousting plate that number is false, try 25-50 pounds, and people could swim in it (badly).) It is called swashbuckling. And there are these nifty things called 'boats'. There are also magic items that allow the depths to be explored.It sounds like your vision of the game is a trifle... limited. A sloppy generalization.Again, this is why there are so very few seagoing supplements for the game (<--sarcasm). Seagoing supplements are among the most popular items from third party publishers, there are indeed a lot of people who find the sea more interesting than the desert. And as I pointed out I suspect that more than 50% of Stormwrack will be dealing with the surface and the shore, not the depths.Not reinventing, or even reenvisioning. Merely another way of looking at the game.The Auld Grump</blockquote>
