A New Approach
I started this book nearly 6 months ago, without any idea of what an
enormous challenge it would be to complete it. In the time I've spent in
this project, I've experienced two computer failures, two layoffs, a
vacation to Europe, and a vermin infestation.
Yet, here we are! Mission accomplished! I'm so excited to share this book
with you all, as well as take this opportunity to discuss my design
philosophies.
My biggest goal with this book was to produce a suppliment which is
entirely "in game", that is, all references to rules of play are described
from the point of view of somone who is witnessing these rules from
within the game. I wanted to avoid writing a rule book that would
constrain and stifle players and DMs. Instead, I wanted this book to be
fallible, malleable, and delivered by an unreliable narrator. In this way,
DMs and players have a lot more wiggle room, (and a lot more fun!)
discussing the rules and seeing how well they play out.
Furthermore, it answers some very important questions.
"Where would your character even find an airship? And what does your
character even know about them?"
Since this pamphlet is in game, player knowlege and character knowlege
are one and the same. This system makes meta-gaming impossible and
gives the DM freedom to fill in the gaps.
Moreover, these aren't just airships which were found or commissioned.
These are Izzy's Airships, and while mostly new, there is no telling what
went into their construction, what corners were cut, and what's new vs.
what's salvaged from other wrecks.
Finally, the DM and players are free to create a ship of their own, with all
of the quirks and character their heart desires.
Thank you for buying my book, I sincerely hope you like it.

Don't I need a licence or
something?
What do you think this is? Thay? No, you do not need a
license to fly an airship. But we don't sell a craft unless
there is someone to pilot it off the lot, so either you, or
one of your associates must be trained in the use of air
vehicles, and no, bardic "Jacks of all trade” don’t count.

Do you offer financing?
Adventurers typically have a life expectancy shorter
than Izzy's attention span, so we require payment in
full before the airship leaves the lot. If you need to
finance your airship, you will have to seek a private
loan elsewhere.

Do you offer insurance?
Here at Izzy's Slightly Used Airships we offer
something better than insurance, we offer
assurance. We assure you that our vehicles are in
peak condition, and if anything breaks down, it's
entirely your fault.

Getting Started

So, you want to build your own airship? Or rather, have us
build one for you? The process is pretty simple.

Initially, you must select your model of choice. Each model
has unique propulsion, hull plating, and accessories.
Next, decide upon the weapon systems. Make sure you
have the number of emplacement points required to
install them.
Third, choose any aftermarket modifications, such as an
illuminated hull, mithril trims, luxury options, retractable
ceilings, etc. Go wild!
The fourth and final step is the creation of your ships
schematics, simplified with the pictures and paper cut-
outs provided! After payment in full, a ship is constructed
at a rate of one day per 250 gp of its final cost.

Airship Models

The Kestrel Class Sloop

Short, sleek, and to the point, the Kestrel is a small service
ship. Its minimal armament and passenger capacity is more
than made up for with its versatility. Perfect for small groups.

The Auroch Class Light Freighter

If you're looking for a commercial ship, then look no further.
Suitable for those with an entrepreneurial spirit, the Auroch
has a cargo capacity that would make sea fairing vessels
blush, and the armament to keep it safe.

The Oroboros Class Caravel

Built with safety in mind, the Oroboros embodies the notion
that slow and steady wins the race. While it may not have the
cargo or weapon capacity of other ships, it is by far the
sturdiest.

The Vulpes Class Elemental Yacht

With an elemental drive core standard on all models, the
Vulpes is built for speed. Perfect for both an emergency
response, or a pleasure cruise.

The Manticore Class Frigate

The only capital ship available for purchase at Izzy's, the
Mantacore, is a versatile model which can be built to suit any
purchaser's specifications.

Ever wanted to know what a 5,000 gp chair felt like to sit in?
Now is your chance! Each chair is made from genuine mimic-

also lasts four hours. Quick napping is impossible.

Propulsion Probably in another pamphlet!

Every Manticore Class ship is unique, and as such, its speed
is dependent on the outfitting of your ship. Each propulsion
system is designed to propel the equivalent of 2500 sq ft. of
hull. If made to propel more, an engine is reduced to half
speed. If made to propel more than twice this value, the
engine will fail to provide thrust. This can be avoided by
purchasing multiple propulsion systems of the same type.

Lodgings

Ranging from a lice-infested stank-cabinet to a well-appointed
stateroom, lodgings are required if you expect to be able to
rest aboard your ship. Washrooms are standard with most
lodgings, except for poor and wretched rooms. While poor
lodgings can be upgraded to include washrooms, wretched
ones cannot. Persons staying in aristocratic lodgings can
dine in their rooms.

Teleportatium

Don't ask where we got this, because we honestly don't know.
This quasi-intelligent room has a maximum of 10 chargess,
and may spend those charges to create one of the following
effects:

Teleport Object 1 Charge: The Teleportarium teleports a
single unattended object (and it's inanimate contents) of
up to huge size, either from the teleportarium pad to an
open space within 1000 ft, or from an open space within
1000 ft onto the pad.
Teleport Creatures 2 charges: The Teleportarium
teleports up to 6 willing creatures of up to medium size,
either from the teleportarium pad to an open space within
1000 ft, or from an open space within 1000 ft onto the
pad. Unwilling characters suffer a teleportation mishap.

The teleportarium regains 1-6 charges each dawn, or each
time it feeds.

Cranes

Cranes can lift a total of 5 tons off the ground, but the
moment the crane lifts the cargo is counted against your
ship's inventory, so don't bite off more than you can chew.
Cranes can lift 5 tons each and have a cable 500 ft long. If
your ship cannot land, cranes are the most likely method one
would have of onloading and offloading crew and cargo.

Spell Guard

Requires Attunement
A spell guard is a unique magic item, which allows any
wizard attuned to it to cast Counterspell using one of the
spells guards’ charges. The spells range in increased to 500ft
as long as the wizard is standing atop of the sigil. The spell
guard has only 1 charge, which recharges when you roll a 6
on a d6 at the beginning of its user's turn. The sigil is
permanently attached to the ship and will not function if
removed. Components are limited, so each ship is limited to
only two spell guards until supplies increase.

Washrooms

Do you want to avoid communicable diseases? If so, make
sure everyone has access to a washroom. Typically, you need
a washroom for every 20 persons aboard your ship, and
passengers will never share theirs with the crew.
