Are there rules for cannons anywhere? I know there are rules for firearms in the DMG but I didn't see anything about cannons. Are they anywhere? If not, does anyone have good rules for them?

d20 Modern: Past has rules for 1-60 pounders. You can to convert the Wealth DCs into dollar amounts, then divide by 20 to get the equivalent GP value, and they're D&D ready.

2nd ed Forgotten Realms had some. i remember the Bombard (like a howitzer), Ribald and so on. i guess i'd cross reference that w/ or at least gloss over siege weaponry in Heroes of Battle. no easy way to do it. sorry i couldn't help you more.

Yeah'p... Stormwrack has the Cannon and the Bombard if I'm not mistaken... As well as other cool siege/heavy weapons.

Light and heavy bombards. Reasoning being bombards fire much slower, and fire stone rather than lead, so any ship with a broadside of cannon fire would dominate the seas. Hmmm... interesting idea...
