Would you like to see more airship content?
🕑 Added 2021-11-23 02:08:08 +0000 UTCSo far we've released three packs of airships, a passenger dock and just now we released a hangar bay. Although all of those packs have been well recieved we recognize it's quite a niche subject matter in the wide world of RPGs, so, would you like to see more of it or should we cool it for a while?
(regardless of the poll results we plan on releasing a mind flayer nautiloid ship at some point, as that's already a work in progress!)

I love airships!!
Nabeshima Neko
Airship stuff is great, even more so with the arrival of Spelljammer.
Mathis Sea
I'm loving the airship stuff mostly because it's perfect for a later campaign arch I have planned. See what you mean about it being pretty niche though.
MGQPhocus
I can always use more Airship content for my world. Love the work.
Mari Murdock
To echo what some people are saying, I'd love more dungeon-style maps with rooms, caves, or tunnels, even if it is in an airship. ;)
Jacob Malpocker
I'll echo this sentiment about mundane subjects. I love the art that you bring forward, and having some more traditional RPG settings would be extremely helpful.
Katrina Richardson
I'd really like some more snow content, I love your maps but I can't use most of them because I'm running Rime of the Frostmaiden, and am limited to snow/cold variants of everything.
LANCE MANLY, SORCERER OF SIN
Absolutely loved each of these packs, but I'd also like to see more mundane maps from you guys! You bring such great life to things, and I've always wanted more colorful maps for my overworld random encounters.
LoyalOpposition
I think there might be a way to keep both since I do have a need for regular old ships. I can never seem to have enough varied sailing ships for the way my players jump around them. My VTT of choice already does a pretty decent switch of a map to nighttime and I can add in dynamic FX for fireflies and the like so if I lost out on one or two variants of a map to give someone who needs it an airship I'd be ok with that. The same could be done with the airship style hanger/mooring/whatever else they need. A few fewer variants of sky background to throw in one or two that are just water would let me potentially take those and still get some use out of them.
Dino Romero
I have a fever, and the only prescription is more airships (and also sky island terrain variants).
BeardedTech
I love the air ships would some empty ones so we can customize the interiors
Ari Grad
Specifically more 'sealed' (perhaps starship troopers) style droppod/airship/canister ships.
HaroldHogmen
Yeah, airship related variants is a good idea! At least sometimes.
Jae Augustus
My campaign uses airships, but I totally get where people are coming from for general purpose stuff as even I don't center my stuff around them all that much. Maybe the solution is to have airship related stuff as a variant for maps? Love your work as always! :D
Unwated Arcana
Now I voted for less airships, BUT, I am all for more steampunk. My setting is going to hit an archaeological industrial revolution in the timejump between the current and the next campaigns!
Nor'easter Games
Maybe if the airship were a dungeon? Sort of like a Howl's moving castle or FF12/Death Star approach? That'd be pretty badass. :)
Cze and Peku
We're currently watching Arcane and enjoying it! I'm sure it'll inspire us. :)
Papa Steel
I'd also like more steampunk-adjacent content, similar to the new Arcane series that came out. Fantasy-tech.
Tom Gilmore
I'm agree Genna - I would love to see some more general use stuff like basic dungeons, caves, etc. Your maps are the first place I go when looking for any sort of inspiration or something to just drop in to a place that I didn't plan for. A simple dungeon or cave system would be really helpful.
Joe Shipp
I would love some png airships with transparent backgrounds so I can use them on other maps!
Raiztt
I wouldn't mind more steampunk adjacent/urban content, a la Arcane >_>
Bart Robbins
I do Eberron campaigns and need more multilevel elemental airships. With captains quarters, galley, guest quarters, and stuff like that
Maggie Quick
As beautiful as they are, most of my games are more high fantasy or gothic :)
Stéphane Aubin
I think it would be cool to see some more types of airships, kinds of like, armoured dreadnoughts and "carrier ships", maybe some that are adaptable to higher-tech/futuristic settings (à-la Treasure Planet), that sort of stuff! Either way, airships are super dope. Thanks!
Thom Anthony
That would be amazing. Off the top of my head, I would suggest: Underdark, Mountain Pass, Jungle/Swamp, Desert, & Forest (I’ll check out the Magic Forest Pack).
Genna Logan
Something more general use would be really nice.
Nobby
I like the idea of more airships, but not steampunk
Cze and Peku
This is the most popular comment in the thread and something we'll definitely think about. We tried to do this with the Crossroads, Magic Forest and Open Ocean packs. But we haven't done a desert or underdark pack in the same way.
Cze and Peku
This is doable! Probably time we make a reallllly big airship.
Cze and Peku
Dissenting opinions are good too! And right now it looks like the votes are mainly for less airship content.
Cze and Peku
What do you mean by protected?
Cze and Peku
We went to a museum recently and it gave us some great ideas for a galleon dungeon, so that's in the works!
Amandine Astier
I run games in med-fan styles, so I'm not into steampunk.
Gyrtop
Really like the airships that exist! I just feel like I’ve gotten a huge range of usable stuff already. A nautiloid would be fantastic to go with the others I’ve used for spelljammers though.
Alexander Brune
I'm just not really into steampunk.
Jesse Vo
Additional vote for sea-based variants.
Eliot Miller
Yes, IF they come with normal ship variants. I'd like more ports, pirate ships and town barges please!
Brian Tiu
Give me a cool airship battle in midair! Something dynamic with lots of different footholds and places for PCs and NPCs to stand as the ships fight it out and then even head toward a collision and mutually assured destruction! Set a Course...for Oblivion!!
Crono Hollow
I'm actually running a spelljammer game and the airship stuff is great for it. Can use any kind of ship maps, sailing, air, jamming, all ships are great! Honestly the best part about a space based campaign is with all the diffrent worlds I can use pretty much all your maps somewhere. Lol. Know this is probably a super niche ask but any sort of fantasy space map would be a godsend honestly! haha❤
Ogo Sylla
More specifically, I'd love to see more content like the airship factory, port & hangar bay. That stuff is great!
hauntedxxshadow
while the "air" part of the airships I don't really find useful to my games personally having versions in the water or shipwrecked make it more appealing. My vote is no, but good alts I'm all for
Grayson DeWolfe
Thom nailed it - would also love to see more of your gorgeous maps with more things in the environment that could be used to make combat interesting and less repetitive. Anything that's not just a big clearing would be great! (Loved the multiple levels to the last hanger you put out!)
Eric Lord
I run a ton of steampunk so airship maps are a TON of useful for me. Would love to see more!
Justin
No, I feel like that ship has sailed.
David Talbert
I like airships! But I need jungles.
Arlen Pringle
As someone not running an airship campaign, but occasionally running a seafairing ship campaign, it would be nice if you DO continue making these, to make non flying variants.
Ari Messenger
Agreed Thom!
Chris De Santo
More regular ships would be helpful, we're doing more of a high seas game in the next arc so anything come be put to use.
Thom Anthony
I love your art style and that’s why I’m a patron. So many of your maps feel like boss rooms, which are dope! but I’d like to have more maps which lead up to those epic battles. Thanks!
Kielley Bade
I'd love more airship and general ship maps! Preferably maps of the ship interiors, both with and without assets, though!
Thom Anthony
Okay this may be an unpopular opinion, but I need more reuseable maps. Like, here’s a set of 10 unique forest maps with cool, fun to interact with terrain. Here’s 10 under dark maps, 10 deserts, etc. A really good library of different settings that can be reused across different campaigns.
MiepMaup
On the note of more airship content, I'd like to see a bigger airship with a lot of rooms to work as a base for players. Bonus points for a variety of decorations per room, so players can fight over which ones they like best :P
John Hopfner
I agree with LoyalOpposition: the airship content is impressive, and I see why people value it who currently are running airship campaigns, or are planning to run them in future. But I fall in neither category, so this content, while fun to look at, isn't anything I personally will use.
CJ
They're cool for sure, but personally they're sort of niche and don't fit into my campaign styles that are more grounded.
LoyalOpposition
I guess I have a dissenting opinion, I've never used airships and have no plan to in the campaign I have going. I think the maps are beautiful and they are impressive, I just have no use for them so I'd like to see something a bit more general use make a more regular return.
Winnie
I think I'd like to see some other variety of things! The airships aren't bad at all, every map you make is amazing! But I'd like to see other things too ^^
The Digital DM
Currently running an Airship campaign. Please more airship content! there is not enough out there
Andrewx8 88
I'd like more airship content, but preferably if it can be used in in a wide range of campaigns, ex, a downed airship battle map, or maybe a mega airship as suggested by others. The mega-pack of airships you released are great, but i feel as if they don't many usable ships.
Kit Tusks
Gosh yes pls!
James Mitchell
Not only more airships, but bigger ones too, please.
Ari Grad
I would like more airship- or perhaps spaceship content. Perhaps we could get more a more 'protected' map for spell-jammer game?
Ihileath
It'll be useful one day, so sure!
Ihileath
a steampunk conventional boat would be fun
Michael Wilson
Seems to be a lot of us running airship campaigns these days.
Richard Miller
Mega Airship!
Rob Nowell
Yes. Yes. 💯 Would love to see some more maps made with airships in mind.
Chris Lontok
Yes, it's niche but it's the exact niche I'm playing in right now.
Drakon Vines
As long as we get more Eberron airship content, I am down.
Paul
I wouldn't mind seeing some variations of regular ships?
Daniel S.
It does seem very niche. It's a genre I don't and likely won't use anytime soon, but it's also a niche not a lot of others are making content for. Personally I like more classic fantasy/dungeon/cave/castle maps.
Cze and Peku
Then you should vote! If everyone who wanted those maps didn't vote, that'd be a silly result. :)
Greg Hacke
As much of the airship content could be "set" in the water, would it be possible to just do a version with water vs. air? Gives a steampunk waterborne vibe.
Shawn
My current campaign is based around an airship, and would love more content around it! Love the content so far
Dan Gragert
Obtaining vote out of indifference. I do have use for airship things in the immediate future, but you've given us a ton of great stuff, so... Could go either way. I let the people choose and will be grateful for w/e content is made. Maybe if it keeps coming we do a whole sky chapter. Could be fun. ;)
Stark Maximum
I abstain from voting becauae I am literally running a floating island skysailing campaign and thus I feel like my needs are VERY different from most people. I AM that niche you're aiming for.
John Bruce
Absolutely! My campaign will have airships in the coming months, I’d love more content around that!
