I always wanted to play a campaign using some sort of mer-people as PCs... a whole weird new setting that is wholly underwater. I know Mermaid Adventures does that... but there must be others.

Check out PC3 The Sea People for BECMI/Mentzer D&D. Its all about adding aquatic races and undersea adventuring.

If you like science fiction Blue Planet does aquatic adventuring in spades!

Or a gigantic crab singing about how shiny everything is

Or the French RPG Polaris.

Or Rifts Underseas.

That could be hilarious in a Gonzo game, especially if it was a Giant Crab, and the whole thing was some kind of a setup.

The person running this website is a racist who publicly advocates genocidal practices.

I am deleting my content.

I recommend you do the same.

Do teenage mermen have dry dreams?

Hmmm... that brings to mind that old thing about fish living in their own toilets... but also an idea for underwater alchemy that involves diffusing substances into the water, and means to filter/block such things... and now I'm on to thinking about censer bearing alchemists in land-lubber games... but yeah, I don't wanna sleep next to no horny mermen.

Also, sponge armor.

While not singing. In BX or BECMI I believe theres a monster or Dungeon module dealing with a giant hermit crab that comes across as friendly and offers people shelter in its shell. You can likely guess where this is going.

Stoner mermen could be appealing.

You totally have to try this new strain of sea urchin, man! (Fun fact: Sea Urchins were one of the first animal life to develop THC receptors)

You could also have underwater pirate-octopi.

Y'know, I've been working on just this thing for a while because my Birthright game is in Brecht lands and that's all about Hanseatic League traders, D&D. Throw in aquatic races and a faerie-empowered continent, and there should be oodles to explore. That and it's one of the few times I love the idea of exploring grid combat -- because a 3D battlefield with differing swim rates throws a fat monkey wrench into our learned land tactics.

In fact, I have someone roll up a paladin 3d6 straight down the hard way (CHA 17 at the end is the hardest). And since the most likely paladin for the Brechtian region is one attached to the NG avatar of Sea and Sorrowful Grief, I counted all the other discarded characters as part of the PC's backstory. Thus came the lone survivor of a sunken vessel, touched by the avatar to survive and be Her champion, while 47 traveling souls perished. And in this PC their unrested souls communicate until she brings succor to their loved ones.

Very tragic, very setting apropos, and a fun use for all those discarded stat lines.

Now I just need to actually run the fucking game.

Deep Spawn and the Homarids from MtG Fallen Empires! I even have them statted up in this forum (MtG Cards into 5e Conversions).
