100 Watery Quests for a Curious Adventurer (2022)

From publisher blurb:

Welcome to 100 Watery Quests for a Curious Adventurer – a fascinating list of interesting adventures and side quests to engage your players while they spend time in the various wet places that populate your game world.

Water-based encounters are a special type of encounter situation. Whether it is battling pirates on the high seas, discovering a long-lost temple on a deserted island, or finding a series of mysterious caverns in the cliffs above the ocean, they all have one thing in common – water. Water adds another dimension to an adventure. It has various travel logistics – where to get a boat and crew, what provisions to take, adverse weather while at sea, etc. as well as encounters that can damage their transport and leave them stranded far from easy aid. It is for these reasons that water encounters are so wonderful. They add a layer of unpredictability that makes the players stretch their imagination to seek solutions to these thorny and wet issues.

This document details 100 adventure seeds and story ideas for dreaming up simple to complex watery encounters for your party. Use your imagination to make anything from a single encounter to an entire multi-day story from the ideas. Just add a few interesting monsters and treasures appropriate to your player's challenge level and you are well on your way to making a unique and memorable story that the players will reminisce about for a long time.

This list can be used to either choose a random adventure by rolling a D100 (or 2 D10’s) or by actively choosing a particular event to fit a particular campaign setting or goal.
