[QUOTE="megamania, post: 1287015, member: 9255"] The home brew I am working on is a world of shallow seas where islands are nations locked in conflict for natural resources. When the tides are low, land bridges appear and thus invasions become common on these days. Most of the conflict will revolve around the resources of the islands unless you have your PCs be aquatic races. That would be an entirely different story. :) Things to keep in mind- The ocean is in many ways just like land. There are underwater mountains, plains and islands (raised land masses). There are seacaves and crevases in the earth that dwindle the grand canyon. (7+ miles deep off of Japan). What water depths do you plan on using? Light and heat are difficult beyond 500 feet. The quality of "breathable" water is questionable also at great depths. oh course- this is fantasy so maybe this dosen't matter. Seems silly but stories of the legend of Atlantis rising could be the main story you run. PCs learn of it and find it. Then they are there when it "resurfaces" (whether by magic or nature is up to you) and thus a whole new world is discovered. [/QUOTE]
