Long river has more opportunity for diverse cultures and locations
Big lake has more opportunity for giant monsters

River goes to and from somewhere. More potential unless it's a very big lake.
Camden White
It would have to be a pretty big lake with some mountains around it or something to even compete

Depends on the setting.

Flowing water's likely to be cleaner.

Better for?

Enough room to run several campaigns here.

River for landmarks, lake for treasure.
Sebastian Scott
Better for what exactly?

>River goes to and from somewhere
The lake is that somewhere. The shores are where the interesting things are located. Movement along a river is one dimensional and thus offers no other choice than going downstream or upstream. Movement on a lake is two dimensional with the possibility of having several destinations to choose from.

How big of a lake we talking?
Elijah Sanders
Terrain wise, rivers are best.
Nathan Hall
Rivers so you don't drown when a storm hits.
Aiden Torres
Why choose? You can have a series of massive inland lakes that lead to a river that leads to the sea.

Is it even possible to have a big lake but no rivers? Where would the water come from?

A river always leads to a waterfall on one end and a swanky beach on the other. A lake is just a boring, pretentious sea. I'd take a marsh over a lake any day.
Nathan Howard
Like a caldera lake on an extinct supervolcano. That's the only lake that can beat a river's diversity.

>Crater Lake features two small islands. Wizard Island, located near the western shore of the lake, is a cinder cone approximately 316 acres (128 ha) in size. Phantom Ship, a natural rock pillar, is located near the southern shore.

Even sounds like a fucking fantasy setting.

not enough sulfur sharks

Rain, snow, glacier, or groundwater flow. Can't have too much evaporation though.
