And now for a more relavent comment... Deck plans are a good thing. While most adventures may never use them, should that one adventure that calls for shipboard combat to occur, well, then it's too late. On the other hand, this is not D&D, where seamonsters will be clambering over the rail...

DEATH TO ALL FANATICS! :lol:

Hmm, I think I am in a minority here, but I like T20. The gaming group I usually play with playes d20, and it is a lot easier for me to introduce new things to them if there is already some familiarity. Plus, I can work the d20 system, so I can create new stuff as I need it. For example, I am...
