The Leviathan of Tyria - Everyone's Edition
🕑 Added 2020-09-30 01:45:09 +0000 UTC
I'm making all the patron content for this map free for everyone. I'm pretty proud of this absolute monstrosity of a ship. I made a ton of stuff for it and I want you all to have it. You can download everything from my Google Drive here or from the attachments below.
So, let's talk about this gigantic boat. The Leviathan of Tyria is a catamaran (two-hulled) warship which is powered by both rowers and sails. Armed with rams, artillery and a complement of marines, it is dangerous both up close and at range. In addition, the Leviathan carries four gunboats on board which it can deploy in battle to surround and distract enemies.
I made three versions of this ship to help it fit into everyone's game. The first is armed with gunpowder weapons, the second is armed with ballistas and the third has neither, allowing you to customize the ship's weapon loadout as you see fit. There are artillery tokens included to customize it on VTTs, as well as copy-and-paste-able artillery to modify the print versions of the map.
The pre-armed versions have around 25 guns/ballistas each. You can add more if needed, but before you turn the Leviathan into a 120-gun ship-of-the-line, let me suggest that you count how many D20s you own. I'm not saying you shouldn't arm it to the teeth, just shop around for a dice rolling app before you have to start making hit rolls.
Anyway, hopefully some of you have a place for the Leviathan in your campaign. Have fun with it!
There's one more thing I wanted to mention: my wife is raising money for a charity called LauraLynn Children's Hospice and I told her I'd post a link on my site in case anyone wanted to donate. I know this has been a tough year for most people and children's hospices are kind of a super depressing thing to bring up, but they do important work and, if 2020 has been merciful enough that you can afford to donate, I'm sure they'd appreciate it.
I can't think of a way to transition from that back to maps without it being awkward, so let's just do it. Next up is Greenstone Hall, one of the four remaining chambers of Brazenthrone. It's a small residential district which shouldn't take long. After that, I'll be drawing draw last month's Cartographic Congress winner, a hanging wizard's tower built into a stalactite. Or a stalagmite? The one that points down.
Anyway, hope you like the ship! If you've got any questions about it, just ask!
