Hey everyone!

This ship started its design as a Spelljammer Crystal Ship, but then we added more and more wood and human elements until we realized it wasn't a Crystal Ship at all by the end of it. But we liked the design so much that we wanted to keep working on it. So instead, we've designed this as a completely different type of human ship for exploring the Astral Sea, using its Astral Sails to propel itself along. Don't worry though, we're currently working on actual Crystal Ship which will hopefully be out in September. :)

The ships are all gridless by the way, so that you can overlay them on different backgrounds.

The Crystal Veil is also part of an awesome Borough Bound collaboration

All the cool goodies are to follow in the next post. But for those who don't know, Cze and Peku also create cities and city battlemaps with the rest of the team over at Borough Bound

This month we're working on an incredible 9-part FLYING GOBLIN CITY called Gruuk Jit'Jit. You should check it out HERE!

Hi! I just joined and was wondering if there was a piece of artwork to go with this map? Or just the "battlemaps"?

Zach High-Leggett

Hi, question about the Massacre Pirate variation... it seems to me like the blood should be the same on levels 2, 3, and 4 because they all show the main deck with the same layout and props and stuff. While 3 and 4 show the same blood, level 2 shows the same blood as level 1 which doesn't make sense to me because levels 1 and 2 have a different layout and props. Is this an error on the map and would it be possible to fix?

Thanks SO MUCH for all the airship and sky variants! They’re so perfect for my current campaign 😁😁

Kit Ortega

Oh, lovely! Do you think y'all could include a variant with an actual spelljamming helm, or perhaps a token asset we could put on various ship maps?

I love thissssss

Bram

Do you have any other “terrain” backgrounds to put the ship on? Like dessert, grass, field, mountain, etc.

Steve Howes

What are the grid dimensions for these awesome maps? Usually this is part of the filename ...

Jake Saltzman

Do you need help converting these into WEBP and WEBM?

Thanks for the offer! We've asked about PNG vs WEBP before but as so many of our patrons are Roll20 users we decided to stick with PNG. Until more VTTs catch up with WEBP it just isn't as useful to folks, even if it is a much smaller file type. We could provide both but that would have just led to even more zips...

The ships are PNGs with transparent backgrounds, you could use any of the 3000+ maps and variations we've released before. There are a lot with plain deserts, seas, tundra, etc. I'd recommend the Open Ocean, Mid-Air Dragon Flight, Remote Ice Village and Harpy's Cove, map packs for more generic backgrounds.

Adam Kirkby

Great suggestions! A lot better than what I was thinking of, just a plain field or desert.

These maps are beautiful, but i've found that their size makes using them impossible on Roll20 even with the pro subscription (10mb limit). First time i've ran into that problem, funnily enough.

https://redketchup.io/image-compressor try this! it has helped with some of the big maps to be able to fit on roll20 for me. when you set the max file size, set it to 1mb, then click on it, then type in 10240, which should set the new max limit to 10mb. hope this helps!
