Finally have the ability to save things as .pdf and can edit them in word 2010 YEA! So with that said my motivation for the D&D water campaign I keep talking about can get underway. Which so far will consist of me going over each creature graphic file, making it whole and reversible then saving them and stating it out which will take a bit due to the fact that everything is giant sized, the smallest creatures still at standard human height for their length, the largest the size of a cloud giant or colossal height and lengths. I'll be renaming things in a more, D&D style as some of the creature names as they work function for the Aquaria Programming language and not so much in conversation and character's world lore. Things that would be great to find would be really good artists to do drawn renders of the creature graphics. I'll even send templates for page backgrounds and sides using the original graphics, for the pdf (as I am going to be writing it) I want it to look as authentic as possible in accordance and tradition of the rest of the 3.5 series, so if someone decides to print it (I actually intend to get it printed as a hard copy not for sale but private distribution) Hopefully with some other people's help I am looking to write a core campaign book, a players' hand guide, a monster manual (may just go into the campaign book itself), A cave systems map both as the original map and a few topographical style images like the ones that D&D uses or a spin on the player mats (am thinking this would all be its own book), and several campaign adventure books. In ultimate length I am hoping to produce a series as long as the Forgotten realms/Faerun D&D books. Good luck right?
Time line wise would be after Naija had restored her world meaning that the previous attitude of the Krotite may or may not exist but that aside (*COUGH PLOT DEVICE*) all the races would be present. Working on stats and racials for each. I will at some point find a way to add the Divine Gift abilities that Naija gained as either classes or racial feats available at higher levels haven't decided yet.
the race list that would come from the game is so far
Mithalans
Erulians
Krotite
Lumereans
Druinad
Mermogs (Monster race)
and Humans
The humans provide a unique much more mechanical aspect, reflected in the Dark God's creation of the Lumereans who were fascinated by technology and emulated anything they could through it. The other races that would fit from Dungeons and dragons would be the Kua-Toa, Locatha, Merfolk, Water Naga, Sahuagin, Triton, Kopru, Ocean Giants, Ocean Striders, and Sirine. Many of these are monster races but suit the setting as decent opponents. There are many more monsters that would fit but these were the most human that I could find immediately, aside from aquatic elves and half elves. Need to look into making Merrow (aquatic Trolls). Also any water traveling dragon would be suited to the various areas, probably creating a drier den to store their library/treasure horde/food supplies, I believe this would be White, Gold, Copper, and Green Dragons though I am willing to accept correction and will correct myself as soon as possible.
Anyways I will post pictures, links, and creature statistics here. This will ultimately become the thread in which I post useful information for anyone wanting to run a D&D based Aquaria Campaign, of course what's wonderful is you could reverse magic rings for land based cavern exploration using a Ring of Air Breathing or the spell Breath Air
