i just wish dnd had real naval combat

my best idea right now is the ships are more or less invincible and you have to take out the crew to take it over,
or just swim into the sunset

So it's Spelljammer with balloons.

[Jarjar-X]

Now we can finally have treasure planet and Atlantis like campaigns much easier

[forrestc.]

2 hours minimum until someone in my group falls to their death

AD&D had Aerial combat rules too. Looks like this supplement adapts some of those as well.

DND! A
USS Ship with Giant guns to erase a certain direction
Is on its way to obliterate everything

What to expect from hell created by the embodiment of more gun and a crap load of magic (cus this is DND after all)

Dragons: Gone
Airships: What airship, you mean those chunks of ash?
Ground positions: Nope! Also ash
The Castle we were supposed to protect- oops also gone

It’s even worse that multiple (probably) physcopaths, are controlling it

Been meaning to look into this project but had completely forgotten. You helped me realize just how deep it goes, though, and it'll be great since I'm planning an airship-heavy setting for my players!

[stachitus]

My last Campaign was filled with Aerial combat between Airships, the DMs made some custom dog-fight mechanics and each party member controlled a different aspect of our Airship, it was pretty cool

[Mikey-vewd]

This is actually a good idea. I'm probably gonna hit up that kick-starter.

[nmf]

Please, have mercy, I'm already addicted to kickstarter

[aaronstubbs]

I am so going to add an aerial segment in my homebrew campaign now. Why didn't I think of it before? It sounds so cool!

[Grey_Shard]

as i am currently dealing with a spelljammer tradesman refitted as an airship, this is indeed something I'm interested in. thanks for the headsup, Cinder.

[Nazo-kage]

There’s only one RPG game I know of that has RPG style aerial combat.

Skies of Arcadia legends.

(truthfully, I would love to know if there are other games with a similar type of combat because I really enjoyed it)

[berserkfanyois]

I am watching so much dnd content so maybe I buy it because ut sounds super cool

[cursedzy]

We did an air-ship sky combat once... It was a blast

[illjoe]

Running a star wars campaign and you gave me an awesome idea

[Omnicloudstrife]

Three dimensional combat gets real weird.

[imUmoron]

Eyyy, I run a sky campaign setting so I'll look into it!

[joshuashulla]

Actually perfect! I'm running a campaign that takes places entirely in the sky with sky pirates, but I still hadn't ironed out all the mechanics for the ships

[TheKamiBunny]

Actually starwars RPG(DnD D20 based) had some good mechanics.

Sometimes when we played I would get out in a space suit to try to attack small fighters while using the force to mobilise.

It was fun
