This is a growing list which I'll add over time, and I welcome suggestions...
(this is a revision of an older original post with further initial ideas on riverine adventures)
The following RPG products provide useful material for a river-borne campaign, some have formal reviews or I have discussed / may end up discussing in separate posts as required.
Rivers and River Encounters PDF
This excellent resource is really the only one of its type in terms of being a general treatise on riverine encounters.
Death on the Reik (WFRP adventure)
- Death on the Reik (WFRP 1e) - aka "DotR1e" is still the best example in many people's opinion!
- River Life of the Empire booklet (WFRP 1e) - the essential resource
- The Enemy Within: a Companion (TEWAC, fan creation) has a section for DotR
- My "River Life Encounter Generator" based on DotR1e (Google Docs spreadsheet)
- "Chapter II: Life & Death on the Reik" (WFRP Companion 2e)
- The Cubicle 7 version of WFRP / 4th edition has a revision of The Enemy Within including:
- Death on the Reik (WFRP 4e) aka "DotR4e"
Other notable riverine adventures:
- Pirates of the Vistula (Twilight 2k v1) - readily adapted concepts despite the modern setting.
- This is my analysis of the adventure structure and the actual encounters.
- River into Darkness (PFRPG) - like Apocalypse Now, now with Pathfinder!
- Rivers of Blood (DUNGEON #89) - Slavic riverine adventures why not?
- Riverworld (GURPS 3e, Out-of-Print) - if only I could find this... I found it on eBay!
- Dolm River (Labyrinth Lord) - somewhat silly if truth be told but hey, it's OSR and Bryce rates it LOL...
- Smoke on the Water (No Quarter #4), an IKRPG d20 adventure
- The web supplement for the above adventure detailing the NPCs
The following threads and articles/posts are also of interest:
- "Adventure along a river?" (Pope Nag, RPG.net 2014)
- "Life on the Mississipi" (Mark Twain, Project Gutenberg)
- "Water Travel Before Engines" (Mythcreants, 2019)
