Ocean Encounters

If random encounters leave your players feeling uninspired and your DM rote and mechanical, and your characters happen to be on or near a boat, look no further. This 28-page maritime-themed booklet contains twenty ready-to-play encounter hooks for parties levels 6-10, with a variety of challenges ranging from unique, creative high-seas combat to code-busting riddles and RP opportunities.

Gamble with a greedy genie, explore a derelict vessel that seems to hold a terrifying eldritch secret, or decide the fate of marauding pirates whose luck has finally run out. These aquatic adventures contain everything from nautical nonsense to serious, horror-filled chase scenes and deep-sea exploration. Designed to have something for everyone, these encounters can be used individually to fill a 30-90 minute portion of your adventuring session, or can be used in sequence to run a long naval journey spanning multiple sessions.

Also within are 10 gorgeously crafted maps, to run the various combat encounters that may ensue. Use these maps in tandem with their associated adventure, or take them for your own use and plan something entirely new! There are also two boss-level monster stat blocks and a variety of magical curiosities, cursed and otherwise.

Currently in an ocean portion of my homebrew campaign and was struggling to consistently come up with good enocunters, but after buying this I am all set. I had only read 14 of the 20 total encounters when I decided to write this review because I alrea [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
