Earlier this year, Jon Peterson posted an article on his blog where he examines . Given his love for boats and naval war gaming, would it not be likely that he put quite a bit of thought to what the ships of Blackmoor would look like?

What ships make their way across the seas and rivers of the North? The FFC mentions at least two sea battles. DA4 features a sea voyage. What other adventures might be constructed around the waterways of Blackmoor? :)

Use your imagination. Merchant ship operations, piracy, Skandaharian raiders, ferry operations, just about anything that can be done using sea or river travel. Cruise lines might be limited, though.

I remember some interesting ship borne adventures with Robert the Bald back in the day.

Oh, and one more thing.

Question for Greg, or anyone else: Have you played Don't Give Up The Ship? If so, does that game come with scenarios? Anything that could be adapted to a Blackmoor D&D game?

Sure, I still have my DGUTS rules and a box of ships in the closet. The last time I actually played it was at Hurricon 2007 in Orlando, FL. That was just a few months before Dave A's cancer turned up.

DGUTS is really specific to the Napoleonic wars. It could be used for the AWI, SYW and other conflicts in the century before. It would be hard to transition it into the age of steam ships. You could maybe use the sailing and galley movement rules in earlier times.

We actually used a set of rules called Trireme for ancient to renaissance era naval battles.
