R.A.F.

That is, Random Aerodyne Features. Written for the airships of Pb, but could likely work for any boat-like vessel.

  1. Shrouds of braided human hair
  2. It’s always freezing on board
  3. Shag carpeting
  4. Hands and mouths sticking haphazardly out of the walls and floor
  5. A skeleton lashed to the steering wheel
  6. Animal cages built into the cargo hold
  7. Stylized animal wings painted on the hull demarcating port and starboard
  8. Shrouds of coin-chains
  9. A phonograph horn running up the mizzen stuck blaring Imperial marches
  10. A magic sword being used as a flying jib boom
  11. Balloon sewn from Churlian textile
  12. Shrouds wrought of ashtadhatu chain
  13. A mummified snake wrapped around the foremast
  14. A figurehead of a wild-eyed warlock clinging to the bowsprit
  15. A quaint fireplace in the cargo hold
  16. An inverted bell for a crow’s nest
  17. An executioner’s chair lashed to the base of the lightning rod
  18. Sugar crystals growing on the hull
  19. A mural of eye-clusters painted on the hull; the pupils are lightning cannon gunports
  20. A coffin full of keys being used as an anchor


What, you want more? Fine. Here. Knock yourself out.

  1. Stocked horizontal bookshelves for a deck
  2. The rusted head of an Old World automaton being used as an anchor
  3. Wheels, just in case
  4. The cupped hands of a titanic statue for a crow’s nest
  5. Balloon shaped as a skull serving as a vanitas
  6. Thuribles hang from the masts
  7. A figurehead carved of hardlight crystal
  8. Everything is monocolor
  9. Tentacle infestation
  10. Multicolored candles melted onto the length of the railings
  11. An aquarium set into the middle of the deck
  12. An overgrown thicket of luminescent toadstools growing in the cargo hold
  13. A nervous system painted into the deck
  14. The whole ship is built in the shape of an ankh
  15. Cobwebs so thick you can’t see the floor
  16. A burnt-out lightning cannon being used as an anchor
  17. Balloon inhabited by a firefly colony
  18. An oversized mortar for a crow’s nest
  19. The whole ship was carved out of one tree
  20. A quote from the Siliconium carved into the keel


Thanks for reading, and happy gaming.
