# The Ancient Ship Rescue: Story Seeds tags: #thoughts/RPGaDay If this isn't your \#TTRPG story seed of the week, I don't know what would be. Let's see, it's \#RPGaDay2023, so I should probably put in at least 3 examples, right?  [[Ironsworn]]: Your fishing vessel gets dragged out into the deep by an enormous fish which does significant damage to your sails in the wind. Now you are becalmed – but a ship from the Old World is looming out of the mist. [[Ironsworn - Starforged|Ironsworn: Starforged]]: Your ponderous cargo ship has crashed on a barely habitable world. Repairs are going to be challenging at best. Scavenging for parts, you discover one of the machine-ships of the Cataclysm, eroding on the surface. [[NUTS!]]: Your small escorted fleet of British merchant men is failing to fight off Nazi U-boats, picking you off one by one. On the horizon you see the [Midilli](https://www.militaryfactory.com/ships/detail.php?ship_id=sms-breslau-1912-cruiser-warship-german-empire) with the Ottoman Empire! Is this your Savior or destroyer? [[Twilight 2000]]: Your squad is tired, beaten, and taking refuge in a seaside village in the fall. Ammo is low as is morale. You receive news by radio that a small amphibious craft is bringing supplies. Will it make it? Can you help? [[Katanas & Trenchcoats]]: Just another night of shaking drug dealers down on the docks but there's a new game in town. A ship just rolled up. It's the Demeter. Okay, it's more than 3. I could probably do this all day.
