Well Met fellow travelers,
I was just curious if anybody had found use in my recent submissions (they can be found in the Traveler's Notebooks section)? One contains various nautical & pirate terminology and phrases, and the other contains stats for various ships and other waterborne apparatus.
When I created those documents I was beginning a small swashbuckling campaign in which one of the PCs was going to work towards the dread pirate prestige class. So, almost from the very first session there was the chance for naval combat (which can be extremely entertaining if handled well and not allowed to get too technical)...So I researched about various ships, even reading about how they were built, etc. Meanwhile I collected quite a number of terms and thought it would be best to have a list of vocabulary to refer to...At any rate, it was quite interesting and I think that kind of research is very helpful in preparing for a campaign. Not to mention that it really adds to a campaign if the DM can insert dialogue that seems not only appropriate, but also really ties into (and enhances) the flavor of the campaign.
I hope you have a swashbucklingly good time ;), if you have any feedback/comments about my submissions, by all means let me know please...
Argh mateys,
Lokahn Mandrake

| Very interesting suggestions, I will take a look at it and send feedback to you ASAP. |
We have fostered trust, recruited loyalty, and gathered the faithful. We have trained thousands. Our legions can cover the land, fill the sky and travel through the darkness. We can hunt any and all that would deny our heritage. Now is our time, now is the time of the Dark Reign(Rain) of the Empire of Shadows.

| Nice work. The characters in my current campaign is a gang of landlubbers, but it may change sometime in the future. Thank you. |

| Thank you. I haven't looked at it yet, but I strongly suspect that this will be rather handy in the future. I'll try to stop back in when I've read it through. |

I must've missed this.
These look particularly useful, and exceptionally well thought out. I don't have any specific use for them at the moment, but I'm making a reference for them in my bookmarks should the need arise.
Good stuff .
