About the Book

The Earh Reveals All to the Sky... The land stretches above the shadowed veil of the sea, exposed to the air and sky. Though caves may reach far beneath the land's sun-flooded surface, none of these dry-earth depths can wrap around you, gripping so tight that your very chest cannot rise and fall to breathe.

...While the Sea Keeps Her Secrets. Beneath the waves, creatures monstrous and unfamiliar swim all around you in primal hunger, and they're all looking straight at you. Everything that swims here is food for something, and while this may be as true on land as in the sea, the sea is much more obvious in her hunger. In the sea, your focus is reduced to two critical questions: Will you feed? Or will you feed something else?

The Deep is a 256 page aquatic campaign guide and sourcebook offering comprehensive rules for underwater adventuring. This resource provides you with all the material you need to start an aquatic adventure today.

The Deep offers new underwater locales, places of interest, NPCs, and adventure hooks designed to let your characters jump right in and start playing, including:

  • Syrenae Reef: A vast, tropical city shaped frmo an extensive, magical coral reef.
  • The Soul-Tempering Baths of Nethelat: Hydrothermal vents where living items of surpassing power are created.
  • Krakensgaard: A sea-elven city built in the side of a seamount, guarding a terrible secret.
  • Udral'Nak: A deepwater brine lake thousands of feed below the surface that spawns fearsome, intelligent undead.
  • The Floating Forest: A vast stretch of kelp forest where otterkin build temporary platform villages amongst the giant holdfasts.
  • The Sunken Ruins of Sem La Vah: The remains of an ancient city, with artifacts of ancient magic buried deep amongst the ruins.

This is very, very good. So good, in fact, i successfully hunted for a hardcover copy online. And it definitely deserve to be upgraded to Pathfinder or 5e. Easily the best underwater setting of all time.

Thank you so much! We'd love to do this as well. Hopefully we can get it in once we're done with some other stuff.

Much of the book's content is fully compatible with Pathfinder 1e in the same way much of D&D 3.5 is. There might be some minor tweaks here and there, but yes, I would say you should be able to use it just fine.

This would be great to have the Pathfinder 1E treatment. Glad you could rescue some of the OGL titles that have disappeared.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
