This morning's prompt was 'riverboat'.

Matthew Colville challenged players a couple weeks ago to 'run the game', fast and fun with three encounters, three maps, three situations in your game. I grabbed my last three sketches.

Riverboat, bloody murder candlestick and waterfalls. The riverboat sketch is mid-journey, so the players are either on the riverboat already or they have to get onto the riverboat after it departs, which would be exciting...

If I screw with the players like that, then there needs to be a very good reason for them to absolutely have to get onto the riverboat. The riverboat has just left and the players steal a small skiff to cut some corners at the fast flowing turns while the riverboat runs down the slower middle. Or they just get on at the last minute.
