Great ideas there! I always pictured the typical Blackmoor adventuring party as wading through the swamps near the Temple of the Frog, or spelunking in the Dungeons of Castle Blackmoor. However, there is no reason why they could not be fighting the good fight on board one of Blackmoor's finest sea vessels!
Going back to Arneson's Naval illustrations, I could easily see Blackmoor relying on some of the old Esneccas, while the fleet at Archlis would have been updated with more modern Carracks?
I am still thinking that Arneson's character Captain Harchar should be ported over to Blackmoor. I keep wondering if he could have been the inspiration for Captain Hieronymus Castagere, the Captain of the Blossom, the ship that is feated in DA4 - The Duchy of Ten.

Hehe, that would be a tad out of place, even for Blackmoor. :lol:
