Riverboat

[Freehand 5.5]

That's a nice little boat. I like it.

I like the design - simple and efficient with plenty of prop details to make it look like it could actually float down an river.

My question is: where does the party sleep? Is this more like a barge where there's no 'below deck' and it's basically just a glorified raft or is it an actual boat?

Either way I would suggest that your party may not want to sleep out on the raft without cover. I'm not sure how you'd handle that though - perhaps some kind of simple cover in the back?

Looks great!

Thanks for the feedback! Green-Pilgrim, good points. The structure toward the front of the boat is a tent, but I may need to replace it with a more tent-like object, perhaps one that opens toward the fire. This is more of a flat-boat used for shipping goods on a river system. I had originally envisioned it with sides, but my attempts to create realistic looking sides were...unsuccessful, so it became more raft-ey.

Do you think I should include a mast/sail (and tiller?) that can be raised or lowered depending on the wind? Hmm, my players might prefer that as opposed to poling it everywhere or just going with the current...
