Message: <blockquote data-quote="Elephant" data-source="post: 4133744" data-attributes="member: 17431">I'm planning a pirate-themed campaign, so I started brainstorming possible shipboard encounters.  Some of these are Eberron-specific, but most are general enough to apply to any setting.1.  Another ship passes within hailing distance:-- Lyrander magic ship-- Lyrander sailing ship-- merchant (rich/middle/poor)-- smuggler-- pirates-- naval warship-- naval courier-- derelict2.  Dragon flies overhead-- indifferent-- hungry/bored/destructive-- curious3.  Lyrander Airship flies overhead4.  Sea monster attacks (many types possible)5.  Sea creatures parley (tritons, merfolk, etc)6.  Weather-- fair-- light rain-- big storm-- whirlpool-- heavy fog-- Other?  A weather chart would be nice (Stormwrack or other supplements could help)7.  Onboard RP encounter-- two crew get in a fight-- unpopular mutiny plot (<5 crew)-- popular mutiny plot (at least half the crew)-- a crewman catches a really big fish-- man overboard-- fire breaks out-- a crewman disrespects the captain (or a PC!)-- Drunk (or lazy) crewman causes damage to ship (drops a rope, leading to a spar being snapped or a sail to be shredded, etc).Can anyone think of anything to add to this?  Obviously some of the items above could use tables (especially sea monster attacks), but I haven't gotten that far yet.</blockquote>
