Airships! [36x48]
Hey 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.
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.
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.
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.
There are cargo hold and stable hold versions of the lower decks.
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! :)
Is there any chance of getting the elemental versions with the spelljamming/space backgrounds?
Did you download both parts? There should be elemental version on a range of background and also as a transparent PNG for any background.
same here :o do you know when there will be a fix for the $1 link?
I've updated the link but if it still isn't working for you, you can get it directly from here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/map-scout-master-27816266
Yes there is an error with 1$ download apologies! I love the maps :3
The link has been updated but you can always get all the $1 zip files here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/map-scout-master-27816266
Hey! The $1 tier download is apparently broken right now - it's taking me to a JSON error instead of downloading anything!
Exact same issue as Jay and Heather for the $1 download.
Hello! Did you end up creating transparent background versions of these airships?
We did! They're in the zip files now!
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
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!
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 $5 rewards : 1. Airship_Original_Deck_Storm Gridded and Ungridded are mixed up 2. Airship_Spelljammer_Deck Gridded and Ungridded are mixed up 3. Airship_ElementalEngine_Hull_Night Appears to show the deck again, not the hull for both gridded and ungridded versions. 4. I noticed that some of the gridded maps start to render with the grid visible, and then the grid disappears after around .5 seconds or so. No other maps from your other collections have done that. I *really* wanna see the hull for the elemental ships, and since I'm playing Storm King's Thunder you've created these marvellous ships in perfect timing!
When we make the ships with the transparant backgrounds i'll make sure to fix these errors, thank you! Not sure about the grid not rendering as its just a static image. That might be a zoom issue. I think the hull for the Elemental ships would be very similar to the original which is why we didn't include it originally but i can add the flame ring in?
Wooo a new lvl 1 campaign fully finished
in 5$ reward link, the grided and ungrid images of "Airship Spelljammer Deck" and "Airship Original Deck Storm" got swaped between them
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
As dreamy and evocative as always!
Would it be possible to have transparent versions of the airships for compatibility with the Dragon Flight sky backdrops?
We had actually planned to do this and obviously forgot, will make another post soon with transparent backgrounds!
