Airships! [36x48]
🕑 Added 2020-01-21 15:59:01 +0000 UTCHey everyone! We're back already with another set of maps! This week we made a whole set of different airships for you to use, including some classic steampunk blimps, the Elemental Airships of Eberron as well as something a bit inter-planar.
Directly after this post goes up we're releasing a new collaborative 1st level 5e adventure using these maps. It is set in the world of Omeria and is the first of many in a continuing saga we'll be releasing this year! Please go take a look at that exciting new venture!

I realize I am four and a half years late to the party. But, do these exist anywhere with the roofs intact?

I've been using this map a lot in my campaign, as the party has acquired their own ship and this is the map I used for it. I really wish there was some concept art or something to go along with this that showed the ship from the side. It's also a bit unfortunate that there isn't a map piece for the upper section at the stern.

I know this is maybe a bit of a stretch to ask but is there a way to have the elemental hull but without the canons ? I tried to mix together the transparent transport hull and default hull but with the ring glow, it's... not great.

Yeah, I get that. Right now it's tricky to customize though - there's enough incidental detail in the lower-deck maps that if a DM wanted to adjust or add assets, they'd have to photoshop out a lot of stuff. Even a version that had the stables cleaned out and replaced with a few empty rooms would be a lot more workable, as a base for a DM to build a non-combat airshop on top of.
Cze and Peku
There's always a balance with maps, if we make them emptier it might feel impractical or not so alive but it allows DMs to customize how they want. If we add in too many details it can make it difficult for DMs to slot into their games. Its a bit of a rock and a hard place, unfortunately.
Cze and Peku
There are cargo hold and stable hold versions of the lower decks.
somanyrobots
I'm looking at this too, and I love the artwork but the ship itself is pretty...impractical? It's not stuff-dense enough to be a working ship, and not fancy enough to be a luxury ship. I'd love to see a revisit to this one that adjusts the floor plans and makes the ship more useful. I want my PCs to be crew on this as their mobile home base, but it doesn't feel like a very alive ship right now.
Jonathon Zankl
Would it be possible for you to provide them regardless? ^^ Or backfill in a bit. They're fantastic, but I wanted to create a moving image in Foundry!
Reid Bathgate
I'm revisiting these as I get my main campaign ported over to Foundry, and I think the only thing I'd love if you ever come back to update these, is a less cannon-oriented version of the lower deck. Either as more generic rooms or an empty hold we could just put wall assets on to make whatever rooms we need.

Hello! I love your maps, and these airships are real standouts. I am planning on running 'Flight of the Predator' as an Eberron game, so I was wondering if you had versions of the monster transport version of the airship deck and hull - the one with the monster cages and belowdecks with the pens rather than the cannons - that also had the flaming elemental ring on them? I'd really love to be able to convert the adventure to fit into my Eberron world. Thanks so much! :)
Cze and Peku
Did you download both parts? There should be elemental version on a range of background and also as a transparent PNG for any background.
Reid Bathgate
Is there any chance of getting the elemental versions with the spelljamming/space backgrounds?
Cze and Peku
Hey we tried extracting some of the backgrounds but they're very messy underneath the ship. We didn't really intend them to exist on their own!
Cze and Peku
We did! They're in the zip files now!

same here :o do you know when there will be a fix for the $1 link?
Edu Celdran
Yes there is an error with 1$ download apologies! I love the maps :3

Exact same issue as Jay and Heather for the $1 download.

Same problem I am having, I am unable to download the $1 reward.
Heather
Hey! The $1 tier download is apparently broken right now - it's taking me to a JSON error instead of downloading anything!
Sandy
Hello! Did you end up creating transparent background versions of these airships?
oceanicsurvivor
Wow these are incredible. Is there any chance of getting some of these, like the spell jammer, without the ship? Just as potential backgrounds, if adventures or fights move away from the ship. They're...just gorgeous wow
ZeroMyths
I think adding a flame ring variant for the hull would be nice but it's largely up to you guys as I do see that it's very similar.
Shane Williams
You're right, it's something to do with zoom. When I zoom in even a little bit, the grid is there, but at full size it disappears again entirely. Weird! Won't be an issue when imported into VTT I guess :) Checking the elemental hull vs standard hull, could the crystal be re-coloured to be a flame-like colour, so it fits with the thematic of the ring? I think the coolest thing would be to have some sort of fire elemental in there powering the ship, but naturally that's extra work :(
Cze and Peku
When we reupload with the fixes i'll add this, it won't be much trouble! Thanks for pointing out the errors.
Cze and Peku
When we make the ships with the transparant backgrounds i'll make sure to fix these errors, thank you! Not sure about the grid not rendering as its just a static image. That might be a zoom issue. I think the hull for the Elemental ships would be very similar to the original which is why we didn't include it originally but i can add the flame ring in?
Shane Williams
Like Victor Hugo, I am also finding some of these ships are mixed up. To help you fix, I compiled the following issues in the $5 rewards : 1. Airship_Original_Deck_Storm Gridded and Ungridded are mixed up 2. Airship_Spelljammer_Deck Gridded and Ungridded are mixed up 3. Airship_ElementalEngine_Hull_Night Appears to show the deck again, not the hull for both gridded and ungridded versions. 4. I noticed that some of the gridded maps start to render with the grid visible, and then the grid disappears after around .5 seconds or so. No other maps from your other collections have done that. I *really* wanna see the hull for the elemental ships, and since I'm playing Storm King's Thunder you've created these marvellous ships in perfect timing!

Wooo a new lvl 1 campaign fully finished
Victor Hugo
Also, would it be too much to ask for a night version for the pirate one? Nothing screams more pirate than nighty night stealth piracy xD
Victor Hugo
in 5$ reward link, the grided and ungrid images of "Airship Spelljammer Deck" and "Airship Original Deck Storm" got swaped between them
Marianne Rogers
As dreamy and evocative as always!
Caddin Schieler
Thanks for the speedy reply!

Hi Caddin, not sure why that is, but you can find all the download links directly here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/master-master-27816327
Cze and Peku
We had actually planned to do this and obviously forgot, will make another post soon with transparent backgrounds!
Caddin Schieler
Havent been able to download the past few posts. Saying i dont have access to any of the $amounts
Eeby
Would it be possible to have transparent versions of the airships for compatibility with the Dragon Flight sky backdrops?
