The release of Spelljammer for 5e has gotten me thinking about making some SUPER EASY modular ship tiles for all types of roleplaying and tactical tabletop games! This week I'll walk through how I made a set that is perfect as a first craft for beginners and experienced crafters alike!!!

Super looking and classical in every way! my only nit pick would be that you mix the different levels on a ship... it kind of looks like the lower decks get mushed with the ships deck... I have wanted to make something along the lines of playable ships for DnD for years, but always got stuck as the whole ship to make was proving to be too tedious... now with the help of your video and the ship tiles I see myself able to manage my original plan! So thanks a lot mate!!!

So I originally did the same and just made a ship, this was mainly my solution for below deck combat, but I’ve come to find that while they aren’t as visually impressive, the functionality of them far outweighs it, AND you can still build a grand ship for your table and just regulate these to be below deck as needed!

As a stickler for words (TechWriter), the names for the different pieces would be prow (front), deck (middle), and aft (back). I thought you would like to know. And that technique can be used for any sort of boats. As an old timer, the original Spelljammers was sailing in the Astral Plane. Of course, it expanded with the lastest Baldur's Gate as the Ithilid (Mind Flayer) ship emerged from a portal to gather people for conversion and being attaqued by Githyanki-mounted red dragons. If you have Ithilid ships, you have to have other ships that can battle those brain eating beasties.

These ship tiles look great. However, I think it would be a pretty tough first time project, mostly because of the curved sides/edges. I've been crafting for years and still find boat shaped quite tricky without a template.

I'm so tempted to take aaaaaall the spelljamming ships and try to make a "map" of all the ships in the supplement. but uh, It's a lot. It's 16 ships, and yes, some of them do use similar deckplan shapes...but others are, more strange. (for example, the Nautoloid is huge, and has a bunch of unique things). However, this would *also* give me an excuse to make a map of the Space Dolphin (which didn't make it into the the book for some reason, and I think its design is really cool)

Depending on how much time and emphasis you want to place on ship-board adventure and nautical matters … there's a LOT of variables! For D&D purposes, unless your campaign has a naval theme, width and length of ships, their speed, how many decks, how large of a crew is necessary to man them … all of that is variable. The 5e Spelljammer ignores all of that and gives ships a basically constant speed. "Who wants ship-to-ship combat?" Um, the players of Spelljammer, probably? My advice if naval themes aren't central to your game is aim for three kinds of ship: Smaller ocean-going ships, long/narrow ships, and big/wide heavy ones. In terms of speed/combat ability/crew … slow/weak/small, fast/pretty weak/medium, medium/very strong/large. That's a gross oversimplification because every factor related to ships, masts, rigging, length/width/displacement, cargo/passenger capacity, armament, crew size, and how fast the ship moves in different types of weather is a separate variable.

Very true! I’ve just been deferring to ghosts of salt marsh for all things ship related. These require some tweaking for larger ships, but the principal remain basically the same.
