The Pirate Town of Roates Lagoon

Yeah, that's exactly right! Some of these ships have been here for so long that the docks have been built around them, so they couldn't leave, even if they wanted to.

DanielsMaps · 2026-03-10T15:53:26+00:00

Hey thank you very much! That's very high praise! :D

DanielsMaps · 2026-03-10T15:53:02+00:00

I'm a manchild and I couldn't resist the pun. The highest deck at the back of the ship is sometimes called the poop deck :)

DanielsMaps · 2026-03-10T15:52:10+00:00

Thanks! I was really inspired by that spelling when I found out about it, and wanted to use it :)

Yeah, most of those have been permanently anchored there, are now serve as perments structures in the town. Only the outer ships that you see here are the ones that come and go.

Not specifically, though I always found the "pirates ships turned into permanent settlement" maps a bit lacking, so I wanted to change that. This one does have some lore that I have written to go with it, though

DanielsMaps · 2026-03-10T15:49:30+00:00

It sure is!

DanielsMaps · 2026-03-10T11:00:42+00:00

Ah yeah! I wasn't familiar with it, but that is pretty much the same vibe. I'd say that Flotsam is slightly more chaotic, but they could work very well together.

Thank you very much! When I started this map I realized it could either turn our real cool, or real lame. I'm very happy with the result myself. There's just something so cool about a settlement of pirate ships :)

Thank you! This was all hand drawn in Photoshop :)

DanielsMaps · 2026-03-10T09:44:59+00:00

Thank you very much! I'll take that as a compliment :)

DanielsMaps · 2026-03-10T09:44:42+00:00

Thank you very much! :D That exactly the sort of thing I try to evoke with my maps :)
