Hey Chooms!

Wanted to post and let y'all know what is happening, what I've got in the works etc. The picture I posted above has inspired my next map, as most of you know I don't like doing made man structures and so haven't done many of them. However I thought this photo of a canal boat (or whatever the correct name for it is) with its own little garden on the top is just far too delightful. I feel it would be a perfect mix between man made and nature but also 'generic' enough to be relatively usable in a lot of adventures. 

If you remember the giant snail hut I did ages ago, I'm thinking along those same lines; a relatively simple landscape with the boat as the focus. The boat would also be a stand alone asset for whoever would find that useful. An interior would be needed and maybe something interesting could be done with that, perhaps a variant that is Tardis like? I'm open to ideas so comment if you have any and I'll consider them! Or if you have any cool knowledge about these boats or landscapes they are found in, that would be nova.

Hopefully this idea appeals to y'all cause I'm excited to see what I can do with it.

I'm excited about the canal boat! Your snail is what drew me to your Patreon in the first place. The rope keeping this one moored made me think of horse-drawn boats or tow-boats, which are cool *mostly* because of the "roving" bridges on towpaths, where the pulling animal didn't need to get unhitched to switch to the other side of the river: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roving_bridge The old spiral bridges, especially, look cool. Not sure if that is interesting to you, fits the theme, or even would transfer well to a map at all, but it's a thing I certainly think about! As for the interior, variants I'd love to see include: seating/tour guide, Cargo, bigger on the inside, and empty. But the most exciting is anything using your signature lush colors.

That's a lovely idea! Maybe one version could be witch/Fae inspired. With cauldrons, magical things for potion making, and with the plants crawling up and down the walls.

Oooh that is lovely inspiration. As someone with a campaign with a lot of nautical themes, I am always happy to find more boats :D

This is a great idea and I'm excited to see what you create on this inspiration. I'd like to see more images or ideas that inspire you. :D
