This was my first map from D20 Cartographer, but it will NOT be my last!

This set offers beautiful artwork, and vivid color. It gives you a complete set of maps that make up this vessel. Perfect for fantasy, sci-fi, steampunk, and countless other genres.

Along with a brief description of how the pieces "fit" together, it also gives ideas for plot points and suggestions.

A FANTASTIC set, and the best value I have seen in a while for the money.

I was looking for a deck plan to use in my Eberron campaign, and this fit the bill perfectly for an airship. The download even includes a brief description of each deck, just enough to tell me what to place there without specifics I couldn't use. Well worth the very reasonable price!

Ever noticed how much fantasy fiction - in books or on the screen - involves a lot of travel?

Well, here is a way to make the travel as fantastical as the adventures you have when you arrive at your destination. Here is a collection of lush plans of an 'airship' - not a blimp or other wonder of modern engineering, but something redolant of early D&D Spelljammers, a magical vessel that looks like a ship yet sails through the air... and perhaps even further.

It's beautiful in its own right, too; and provides plenty of scope for adventures aboard. Maybe it will become the focal point of your campaign: your characters may spend their early levels acquiring enough cash to purchase one (or expertise to acquire it by, ahem, other means), then use it to further their ends as they travel the length and breadth of the campaign world. All the traditional 'nautical' roles of military vessel, trade ship, exploration or buccaneering are open to those who have access to a ship like this, and to the magics necessary to make it go.

There's a lot here. The main deck - complete with ballistae to keep pesky pirates away (or, if ethically challenged, to conduct your own assaults on other vessels). Then the captain's cabin (he appears to have been doing well), and then below it officer country, with a lounge and essential sail controls as well as the first officer's cabin. One deck down, and it's where everyone else lives, along with the galley and armoury. Passengers and crew can be accommodated here. Below that, there's the hold. All fully-detailed and ready for your adventures.

If you conduct your games online - or with computer support at the gaming table - there are MapTools files; if you prefer to lay things out in front of your players in hardcopy, there are suitably-scaled printable sheets so that your miniatures (or counters) can be brought into play as necessary.

Just looking at it is spawning ideas... if you relish a touch of the truly fantastic, whether your characters will take a single trip aboard or become sky-farers in their own right, this is well worth considering.

Yet another map from D20 Cartographer that is absolutely beautiful. The map comes in five sections including the main deck, lower decks, and two rooms in the stern representing the captain's quarters and an officer's area.

The write-ups for the maps were nice as well. Too often map packs contain only maps. D20 Cartographer does an excellent job of providing some written flare to guide that GM in the direction of adventure.

For VTT users, the package comes with 48 jpgs representing the decks and various items found on the ship, from ballistas to the captain's bed. The reusable objects can stay in your graphics library for future use on other maps. The artwork is fantastic but D20 Cartographer added a little something extra for MapTool, a campaign file complete with teleport pads which take you from deck to deck.

Overall a superlative effort. http://rptroll.blogspot.com
