The Floating Fortress is Inked
🕑 Added 2020-09-26 00:58:56 +0000 UTCYeah, there are boats in that boat. They're called gun yawls and they look like this. They're basically large rowboats with a single cannon. The idea is that they're maneuverable and hard to hit. Apparently they were very popular in Scandinavia, which is something you might have guessed from the picture, in which there's a Danish flag that is almost as big as the entire vessel itself. Presumably, this is meant to be used as a sail in the event that everyone's arms get tired.
I'm going to make three versions of this: one with cannons, one with ballistas and one with no armaments. I've got a ballista and five different cannons you can copy and paste onto the map or use as VTT tokens to arm it as you like.
There's one other thing I wanted to point out. I drew a ship called the Ebonclad about two years ago. You can fit that ship into one of the floating fortress' hulls. You can almost fit two into each hull. This thing's pretty big.

So, at first, I was just planning to remove the benches like you asked, but then I decided to take out the boats, then the anchor, then the background, then I started changing some colors around and... well, it's not the starship Enterprise, but it looks a lot more like a spaceship than it did before. I'll make the VTT and print stuff for this later today, but here it is if you want to have a look: https://www.milbysmaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Leviathan-of-Tyria-in-Spaaaaace-51x124-1.jpg

Sure, that's no problem. I'll get the regular versions up tonight and then I'll do that afterwards.

Can I suggest a version without rowing benches, for use as a Sci-Fi / Modern map?
