I've been looking for a good Dungeons and Dragons aquatic campaign with no avail. Then I crossed Aquaria and felt an inspiration. I've posed this before Alec, but I want opinions. What would people think of either Aquaria's own Chapter in the Dungeons and Dragons Community, or an Aquaria RPG of its own. While the second would take me a lot more time because I'd be running all my energies coming up with basic playing systems it would still be interesting. D&D would be my priority here though so I am considering putting together an Aquaria-esque storyline and game variants, perhaps the survivors of the various races going through similar discoveries as Naija, (Or whatever the player chose as a name), Awakening the Godlings of the sunken world to finally do away with this dark divinity that once lurked within their homeland waters. Or perhaps an Aquaria before the fall of the temples, before the War between the races that Caused Naija's people to flee into the deep. Even in her memories she only sees her mother, who, recognizing the dangers swam her daughter back into the abandoned halls and waterways of what was once home.
things I'm looking for now; The project is my main priority right now so any help will be good. This will all be based upon Dungeons and Dragons Rules, Third Edition and 3.5 Edition.
Detailed creature list
Possible Secondary names for creatures, for instance mermogs could be elder Koa-Toa or so on
Full racial list based on the game. Standard D&D races will be present but the Aquarian Races should be primary.

A lot of the necessary information is even readily available such as the list of creatures, the list of ingredients, the magnificent history rich with saga and tales. As a D&D Campaign, I could set the Aquaria storyline for the game as a sub-campaign as most of the races are gone. However were I to come up with a larger, grand scale storyline (which I would and have been thinking of for some time) all of her once races would stand tall and powerful. Perhaps with Alec and Derek's honorable presence, I might be able to come up with some other locations in the waters surrounding home waters, where the once temples stood, The Very entrance of the King Nautilus, the King Blaster and his swarms into home waters and how they were trapped into their perspective temples or caves and left to be, perhaps even becoming points during the campaign that would close off, and become secured by armed Guards lest they escape their watery cages, the schools of magic that are present in the game alongside the ones already present in D&D.
For Naija's story as an offshoot much of the old magic would be lost, few small remnants made divinely available to her (or the party) through the verse and the defeat of the Godlings perspectively.
Herbal arts, as much as they were a part of the game, should be a part of my ideas as well. However in the base campaign they would be imbued by magic and bolstered by skill.
In Naija's world, the Verse supplies much of the magic that is put into her recipes.

No I mean I want to write a campaign for the game for Tabletop Dungeons and dragons.

And that's what it would look like if you drew it.
Really, I just thought you might find that interesting. Guess not. ::)
-
Where'd you get that picture Zoko? I'm intrigued. xD
Hmm an Aquaria based DnD storyline.. Could be interesting. I've never really played DnD myself but I can see how that could work. This also makes me think of an Aquaria roguelike (which I'd probably actually play a fair bit haha)
-

1. When a post is quoted properly, like I just quoted you properly, a link to the original post can be found above it. The pic that Zoko posted was quoted properly.
2. ???
3. Profit!

I made it.
I read a fantasy, underwater themed book once that would definitely fit into a D&D setting. It was pretty good.
-
Sorry Zoko. Didn't mean to disregard ya. I just looked through the thread where you first posted that. Guess you'd actually be a good resource for the project. I'm installing a fairly good tablet to my machine so that I can work on pulling up the racial pictures and while your template is basic it does show the main known races of Aquaria for which I am actually greatful. I would appreciate your help in the project.
-
Sure, I can help ya out. :D
I'm fine with contributing, just ask me what you need. Don't give me too much of a load though, I can get fairly busy sometimes.
It's a shame I stopped making those pictures. They were fun. And that walker was pretty detailed too.

I've been running undersea D&D games since 1998. :) My latest game, "Heirs of Turucambi", is a chat-based 3.5e D&D game set beneath the surface of the Solnor Ocean on Oerth, the World of Greyhawk. It has been running for around three years, now.

I'm a D&D 3.5e regular, and I have to say I've yet to play an aquatic campaign. Could be interesting, though.
Also, if the admins don't mind, I'm gonna have a shameless plug for a D&D tool I'm continually working on. I call it the DM's Buddy, and I give it to everybody for free. It calculates XP, generates random treasure, rolls custom dice math, and will (eventually) generate random NPC spellbooks. I have it posted for download here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7133201/DnD%20DM%27s%20Buddy%20v2.51.zip
My DM loves the thing, and I made it to be used. It works in every version of Windows I've tried, and it also works in WINE for you Linux nerds (last I checked, anyway).

Nice. Hello people. Oh hey, Decarthado, the link is broken at the moment
will be looking into making my campaign a little more seriously, wondering if Forgotten realms would be a suitable world to port it to or not opinions 3.5 players? I don't play fourth ed so when I do post my resources it will be in accordance with 3.5 rules. probably going to make racial paragons outta each Aquarian people to best create a game.

Alluria Publishing has released Cerulean Seas, a 300-page PDF detailing undersea adventuring using the Pathfinder ruleset. Pathfinder now had the Advanced Players Guide, which includes aquatic variants of the bard, druid, sorcerer and more!

You can purchase the PDF for $19.95, from RPGNow.com. Support of the product through purchasing may lead to additional supplements from Alluria Publishing. I heard they are working on arctic and psionic supplements, even now.

Aeolius have I told you how much I adore your resourcefulness recently? ^^ And yes I went and scooped up that title and one other gem I'd been missing in pdf form.
