There is still a surprising amount of leeway, even with version B. How do you depict the vessel? As an "X marks the spot" type of blob, or an actual drawing of the vessel itself, and then how do you represent the way the vessel travels? Would there be several images of the vessel - maybe in different states after various encounters and/or disasters.

And then there are other variables not controlled by the dice, but left to the entrants to work out for themselves:

  • What would the voyage be about - a rescue, an exploration, or something else?
  • How would the detail of the water be depicted - maybe there would be tremendous and beautiful renderings of the ocean surface, or maybe the water would be sparkling clear, so that the whole of the sea bed would be visible in its distorted refracted state.
  • What kind of dangers would there be on the way? Ghost ships, Kraken, pirates, other kinds of monsters... storms, whirlpools, terrifying reefs...


And I'm sure there are lots of other things that would only become apparent once the drawing was under way
