100 Encounters for Fantasy Oceans

The sea is a dangerous place and those who regularly sail on it know to treat it with respect. The weather is dangerous and those onboard a ship know they are in a fragile vessel skimming along the top of potentially vast, and hostile, depths. This supplement has 100 different encounters that can be used to add more detail to a sea voyage. Some of the encounters hare potentially hazardous, others are odd and some may be a source of potential adventure hooks. Most of the encounters assume that the characters are travelling in some sort of ship on the ocean's surface, but they could be tweaked.

Here are some sample results:

• Huge bubbles rise out of the water, bursting when they reach the surface with a strong, nauseating smell of rotten eggs.
• In the middle distance, a funnel reaches out of the clouds and touches the water, forming into a waterspout.
• Large hailstones, several inches in diameter, rain down on the boat from the skies. The hail is large enough that it will damage anyone it hits who lacks protection.
• Large patches of seaweed float on the surface of the water. They slow the ship down by dragging against the hull and some get tangled in the rudder, compromising the ship's steering until the plants are removed.
• Large sea turtles keep pace with the ship for a bit.

One page is the front cover, one page is the front matter and half a page is ads.
