You were on your way, sailing along the seas or the stars or the skies in some sort of vessel but something's gone terribly wrong and your ship is going down. It's unsavable, you have to abandon it. You've been shipwrecked.

Post your character, tone and setting preferences (is it a traditional boat and deserted island? A spaceship crashing on a strange planet? An airship caught on mountains? Feel free to be flexible!) and pick some prompts you like!


1. Getting Wrecked: you're still on the ship and it's the moment it starts to go down. Whether it's by storm, battle, tragic accident, even the kraken - now's the crisis that causes the shipwreck. Maybe grab the nearest person and find a way off this thing!
2. Adrift: Just after the ship's been sunk, you're in a lifeboat or escape pod or maybe you're in the water and there's a floating piece of wood only big enough for one person. Whatever the case, you're probably in shock or trying to figure out what your options are. And maybe hope there are some helpful mermaids and there aren’t any sharks
3. Washed Up: you've reached or woken up on shore. Where are you? Where'd you end up? Better explore and figure out where you are with whoever got stranded with you. It's time to get your bearings. Is the place abandoned or do you find something there, like the ruins of other ships or an abandoned pirate hideout? There could also be something strange about it…
4. Survival: you've been stranded. You need food, water supplies. If your ship is around you might need to fix it, or maybe it's gone and you need to build a raft or some sort of signal for help. Or you could go full Castaway, Gilligan's Island, Swiss Family Robinson, maybe even LOST if that's your jam. And if you're doing more of a genre thing, are there monsters? Aliens? Strange plants and animals you're not sure if edible? Whatever the case, you want to get off this rock or get rescued, but you're going to have to survive until then.
5. Saved: you repaired your ship or built a replacement or someone's found you. How long has it been? How dirty are you? And how glad are you that it's all about to be over?
