Mar 26, 2019 The DMG 2 for 3.5 has a fully-fleshed out Saltmarsh, but I am wanting to be a little careful with that, since it is set in the future after Saltmarsh has had its Sinister Secret revealed. There's a useful FaceBook page for DMs already established, some excellent info there, and there are sneak peeks of GoSM in EN World and the current edition.
May 07, 2019 Across this river on a peninsula is a location marked 'Tower of Zenopus'. Per the map compass, this places the tower generally to the west of Saltmarsh, which fits with Holmes' original description (albeit without an intervening river). The U1 Haunted House is in the other direction along the coast, east of Saltmarsh. Jun 26, 2019 Has anyone run the ship-to-ship combat rules from Ghosts of Saltmarsh? I’m thinking of also using the Handling Mobs and Cleaving Through rules from the DMG to speed things up (considering it will likely be Warship vs Warship with full crew complements) and keep things balanced. Players will be “marines” so I will likely be using NPCs.
Dungeons & Dragons has a new set of rules that will feature in its new and upcoming adventures. Today, Dungeons & Dragons is releasing Ghosts ofSaltmarsh, a new adventure book that contains updated versions of seven classic nautical-themed adventures. These adventures can be played separately or together as a nautical campaign. One major part of Ghosts of Saltmarsh is an appendix containing rules on how to manage a ship, including new rules for naval combat. Not only do these rules breathe new life into any nautical campaign, they also form the foundation of new vehicular combat rules that will also appear in Descent Into Avernus, the just announced D&D storyline that will be released in the fall.
One core part of D&D's new vehicular rules is the introduction of vehicular stat blocks that contains ability scores, a list of actions, movement speed, Armor Class, and other stats you'd expect to see in a traditional monster stat block. Vehicles now having their own hit points and saving throws, as well as special abilities that they can unlock during its turn. In Ghosts of Saltmarsh, ships have their own initiative, and its actions are determined by its captain, which is one of several roles that a character can assume while on the ship.
Another innovation is that every vehicle has a 'damage threshold,' a minimum amount of damage that an attack needs to do in order for the ship to actually take damage. For instance, if a player fires an arrow at a ship with a damage threshold of 10 but only rolls 9 damage, that ship wouldn't lose any hit points as the damage is considered 'inconsequential.' However, if an attack's damage exceeds the damage threshold, that ship would take the full amount of damage, which differentiates damage threshold from the damage resistance rules seen in previous editions to Dungeons & Dragons.
As noted earlier, while manning a ship, players can assume one of several roles that tie into various non-combat checks and encounters a ship might encounter at sea. A First Mate can raise morale of the crew, thus preventing the crew from mutinying, while a quartermaster can navigate to keep the ship on course and avoid becoming lost. Other encounters (such as fires breaking out, or bugs infesting the food supply) can be solved by other crew members making certain checks, which often result in the crew's 'quality score' either increasing or decreasing. The quality score not only impacts certain ship-wide checks and rolls, such as noticing threats on the horizon, it also determines how likely a crew is to mutiny against its captain..and presumably his party members.
Last weekend, ComicBook.com also had the opportunity to participate in a play session at D&D Live 2019: The Descent, which featured players controlling and customizing an Infernal War Machine that will appear in Descent Into Avernus. The rules for the war machines worked similarly to Ghosts of Saltmarsh's ship rules, although individual players had slightly different roles during combat. For instance, a player manning the helm determined how the war machine maneuvered around the battlefield, but individual players could operate individual weapons on the war machine during their turn in the initiative order. Manning either the helm or a weapon provided players with partial cover, but you did have to watch out for enemies jumping onto your war machine and attacking you. You could either operate your vehicle/weapon or defend yourself, which could complicate encounters immensely. The War Machine combat also featured a 'mishap' rule, in which machines suffered additional drawbacks when they suffered immense damage from a single attack. Some mishaps (which were determined by rolling a d20 and then consulting a table) affected the speed of a vehicle, while others lowered the vehicle's AC or caused engine damage..which caused the vehicle's crew to suffer acid or fire damage. It's unclear if these additional rules will be part of Descent Into Avernus, or if they were limited to the D&D Adventurer's League Epic that we played through during the event.

commentsThe new combat rules provide a dynamic and elegant way to run large vehicle combat in D&D, a set of rules that were widely missing from the game. Not only does this make sea campaigns a bit more fun by providing different roles and encounters, the vehicle rules also open up whole new avenues of possibilities, some of which we'll see in upcoming Dungeons & Dragons adventures.

Howdy All,
With my Ghosts of Saltmarsh game via Roll20 having kicked off the other weekend, and tonight's session coming up, I thought I might start a thread where I could comment on my experience of DMing the campaign and such. I'm an experienced DM - I think I've run D&D games in all editions, and more than one campaign - although this is my first 5e campaign, and first D&D campaign via Roll20. We'd recently wrapped on a Zweihander campaign via Roll20 .. 22 sessions, so I'm hopeful to get a good amount of GoS run.
I've got the PHB, MM, and GoS Roll20 books, so PHB and GoS available to my Players for chargen. The three initial PCs are a gnome ranger, a dwarf paladin, and a high elf wizard. Our first session was completion of character generation and the beginning of the game. I've already left the 'official' Ghosts of Saltmarsh campaign .. as friends, the group met up in the Wicker Goat in Saltmarsh. As they sorted through some rumors and ale, they took up an item of interest from the tavern keeper .. and find themselves at the older, disused docks, by Crabber's Cove, and dealing with .. The Riverfront Rat Gang (from Book of Lairs 5e, Kobold Press).
The group got into an initial combat, and has recovered a strange rat idol and a staff. Once they finish this bit tonight, I expect to head them into The Haunted House from GoS.
I'm finding the convenience of the Roll20 items - especially the tokens and monsters - a lot of fun. I'm definitely finding playing with friends who I haven't gamed with since - the late 90s - to be a ton of fun.
'If you can just get your mind together, then come on across to me
We'll hold hands and then we'll watch the sun rise from the bottom of the sea
But first, are you experienced? Have you ever been experienced?'
