To Sail the Sunless Sea

When is the book coming out? Get on it, people.

So how *would* you know you're near shore?

You're always within a few hundred feet of a type of "shore" since bats and other fliers can roost (or whatever its called when bats do it) in the roof of the caverns.

I ran my first session of this about a week ago. The main encounter was with some chitine who lured in ships with a bit of flaming wreckage and then repelled down onto them from the cavern roof. In the future I'd like to move on to some real piratey ship-on-ship action (so to speak), but I don't have a set of nautical rules I'm particularly wild about. I don't want something too techinical or "wargamey", and I don't want to just handwave everything.

We "found" a sunless sea under the mountains near Sunstar-Nightshade-Raveneye. Not sure if we killed the pirates (who happened to be gnolls in a mountain gnoll cave), but we did find their ships. Viking longships with 12' bone harpoons and 6" sailing ropes.

Only thing was, they turned out to be creatures. Not mimics, something new.
