The artwork and quality of this product are just fine but its very cramped with a lot of walls sticking out into the narrow central passage. Seems difficult to use as an actual battlemap in an RPG.

So I'm looking for a ship and I've downloaded a number of them from Paizo, each time being a little disappointed that the ship that I'm looking for is not the one I downloaded. Then I got to this ship.

Its really fantastic, art is phenomenal and you get a lot (three decks, a captian's cabin and a crows nest...lots) for a very reasonable purchase price. Then on top of that they provide you this beauty in a wide array of different formats - sliced up into 8.5 by 11 for easy printing, poster sized versions, versions with and without water, with and without a grid. Chances are you'll be able to find a format you want to use with minimal work among all the possible options.

This is really the 'extra mile' that gets my star rating up to the top...I've downloaded some good PDF maps but usually I get the map in one format and I had better like it that way. Here I got to choose.

The ship is technically the same ship but one version has been done as a usable pirate ship and the other version is a decayed ghost ship. If I had any complaint at all its that the ghost ship version kind of went overkill on the green...my adventure calls for a ship that has been adrift for awhile and I'm still going to use the pirate ship version.

There also been some real attempts here to make the different levels of the ship 'behave' in different ways so that some levels are more chopped up while others are much more about wide open spaces. This increases the chances that one can use the ship in their adventure - gonna fight a big demon? Get that on a deck with more open space while if you want a scene were things are a lot more cramped well then there is a deck that does that.

Very impressed.
