[QUOTE="Sigma, post: 256183, member: 3066"] I'm getting the itch to start a new campaign, and was mulling over the following premise: The characters are given the task of taking a boat to the source of a river in a remote part of the campaign world. The setting will be a cold inhospitable Yukon/Alaskan style environment. My question is, how big a boat could you get up a medium sized river? About how many people would be needed to crew it? Would it even be a good idea to use a boat for this purpose? My inspiration for this is a Jack London story about a guy trying to get eggs up to a remote goldrush town via boat. (Being a Jack London story, he of course suffers, starves, and nearly dies as he fights nature, only to find that the eggs are rotten by the time he gets them to the town. But that's beside the point.) [/QUOTE]
