I've been playing Pathfinder since it came out, and so far I've yet to meet anyone who has ever used the system to play a completely Aquatic (read: underwater) campaign, myself included.

I can understand why. After all, until the stats for Merfolk were released, there weren't any races that could potentially live underwater. Even with the release of the Advanced Race Guide, I can only think of three races that are/can be amphibious, not including custom races.

Add in the fact that the rules for playing underwater are more geared towards explaining the obstacle going underwater would be for the average adventuring party, as opposed to a system designed around the concept of being underwater, and it becomes obvious why it's not a common thing.

So, I'm curious: What's it like to play an Aquatic campaign? Is it a completely different experience, or the same thing with more rules? Is it something that should be done often, never, or just once? What funny stories do you have about those campaigns? Would anyone say that their favorite game was an Aquatic campaign?
