Of Ships and the Sea
Well I am finally ordering the BoP and the Rjuvik Highlands from Amazon.com and as some of
you may know, getting more at once is cheaper that in little spirts. Well I was looking
around for an AD&D book that no one in my group had and came across one I had never heard
of, Of Ships and the Sea. Does anyone else here know about the book? Is it worth
getting?
Also, are there any books, BR or otherwise that are really worth getting? I already have
the BoM, most Complete handbooks, arms & equipment, Cities of the Sun, Blood Enemies, and
the Player's Option books.

Of Ships and the Sea
Of Ships and the Sea is an excellent source book for both maritime and
underwater adventures. Particularly if you intend any of the latter, it has
the best and most complete treatment (the recent Sahuagin materials use its
rules).
Its naval rules are not Birthright based, but are excellent. It also has
extensive encounter tables, weather phenomenon etc.

If you want to run a seaborne or underwater adventure...It has a bunch of
possibly useful stuff...but if you weren't going to...obviously it'd be a
waste...It has some new spells...I think they are all in the 4 volumes of
spells...it has spell effects for some of the standard spells
underwater...it has weapon modifications for underwater...it has ship
info...including ship combat...stuff like that...hope this helps...

Of Ships and the Sea
Of Ships & the Sea is about half ships and ship combat, and half underwater
rules. If that is what you want, great. I intend to use the ship rules
someday (esp. since someone printed cannon rules about two Dragons ago), but
not in my current campaign (darn few ships in the Giantdowns). I do not
intend to use the u/w stuff anytime soon, but you never know.
Lee.
