it didn't last long but it was fun while it did. We ended up nuking our rig, our players, and later on straight up replacing the crew and going on a short but pleasant city crawl

Aquatic campaigns are actually my fetish. I will do anything to get in on one if I can. Trouble is my main and best player has aqua/agoraphobia. He can't even think very long about the ocean without hyperventilating and just shutting down.

My life. Pain, it is.

Land viking campaign. With like, fish people that live in mud huts.

>>51449586
Same player hates fish races. I think they remind him too much of the water.

>>51449625
Frog races? Damn, I hope he's able to deal with his fear of water some day. That must be hard. :(

>>51449643
It is. I can have water-related shit show up outside of fish races. It's apparently the openness and vast clawing depths he's terrified of. Also the fact that you can't see very far underwater, while the shit down there can see you.

I just realized that the fundamentals of Cthulhu style creep-horror must bug him the fuck out.

>>51449688
What if instead of water, the ocean was just Jell-o.

>>51449433
What do you like about Aquatic campaigns? Is it the water and aquatic creatures or everything around them? Because airship campaign with floating islands are pretty sweet too.

>>51449718
I'd get a laugh, and then a nervous twitch, and then nothing for several hours no doubt.

Or he'd puke.

>>51449733
I love the adventure. The styles. The sense of wonder and openness that an ocean provides. The mysteries out there, the cultures, the ruins and the treasures are just over the horizon. And the ships are practically characters in their own right if done correctly.

I love floating island games...but I've yet to build a setting like that to my high expectations. I can't seem to find the right balance between explaining shit and letting it go.

Also, he doesn't like floating islands. Thinks they're weird and unnecessary.

>>51449768
Just green tinted, but still very clear 7 feet of jell-o for the entire ocean.

>>51449799
I like your style, but he'd hate it. Now it'd be because it's getting silly.

>>51449833
Play a world where everything is food, silly from the start and internally consistent with everything else.

>>51449833
Jellmaids, jelloy fish. a cult that worship K'raft.

>>51449856
>>51449858
Might work. Silly can be a good thing.

I managed to successfully derail a magical realm campaign (furry harems in a desert realm inhabited by not!loli and not!shota halflings who were ruled over by a succubus vizer). I run a cleric/paladin of a deity against debauchery (got approved by the same dm). I derailed this campaign by spending my resources having a portal made to normie land. we then started a holy crusade to destroy the succubus and free the land from her evils and allowed the furkin to return to their homelands which we promptly avoided except to get the occasional gift from their ruler.

on a serious note, it would be worse to have crystal clear water. There are some lakes and even locations in the oceans that have water so clear, you think the water is a few feet deep and its suddenly 50 feet down. vice versa too.
