About the AI Ship Map Generator
Sea voyages turn up in most campaigns, and a ship is a great place for a fight: tight decks, masts and rigging, cargo for cover and water on every side. Ship maps are also easy to get wrong, because a deck that is the wrong size for the grid or drawn at an angle is useless at the table.
The Text to Tabletop AI ship map generator turns a description into a finished deck map. Describe the vessel (its size, the number of masts, cannons, cargo, the state it is in) and the water around it, and the generator paints the whole ship from directly above.
Every map is locked to a straight-down view with no baked-in grid, so the deck lines up with the grid in your virtual tabletop. Generate the hold and the deck as separate maps for a boarding action on two levels, and regenerate any part that is not quite right without redrawing the whole ship.

Candlelit Tavern Interior
Free download and prompt
"The interior of a cozy medieval tavern seen from above. A large stone fireplace dominates the back wall. Round wooden tables and chairs are scattered across the main room. A long bar counter runs along the left side with shelves of bottles behind it. A staircase leads to an upper floor in the far corner. Warm candlelight and lanterns throughout. Top-down, grid-aligned, battle map style."

Desert Canyon Standoff
Free download and prompt
"A sun-scorched desert canyon with tall red rock walls on both sides. A sandy floor with scattered boulders and a dried-up riverbed running through the center. A rickety wooden bridge spans a narrow gap between the two cliff edges. Cactus and scrub brush dot the landscape. Harsh midday sunlight with deep shadows against the canyon walls. Top-down, grid-aligned, battle map style."

Bustling Market Square
Free download and prompt
"A lively medieval market square seen from above. Colorful canvas-topped merchant stalls arranged in rows selling goods. A stone fountain in the center of the square. Cobblestone streets with barrels, crates, and handcarts scattered around. Half-timbered buildings line all four sides of the square. A few trees provide shade. Busy daytime atmosphere. Top-down, grid-aligned, battle map style."

Shipwreck Coastal Cave
Free download and prompt
"A rocky coastal cave where a wrecked wooden ship has run aground. The hull is broken open, with debris and cargo crates scattered across the wet cave floor. Shallow tidal pools reflect the dim light entering from the cave mouth. Stalactites hang from the ceiling. Ropes and torn sails drape across the wreckage. The ocean is visible through the wide cave entrance. Top-down, grid-aligned, battle map style."

Use Cases
- Pirate boarding actions: two ships side by side with grappling lines and a gap of open water between them
- Merchant voyages: a cargo cog with crates, barrels and a crew that is not what it seems
- Below decks: cargo holds, hammock rows and the brig for a fight in cramped quarters
- Harbors and docks: piers, moored ships and warehouses for smuggling and chase scenes
- Shipwrecks: a broken hull on the rocks or the sea floor, half flooded and full of salvage
- River barges and keelboats: long, narrow decks for a fight while the current carries everyone downstream
- Ghost ships: rotted planks, torn sails and fog rolling across a deck with no crew
- Airships and skyships: the same deck layout with clouds instead of sea for high fantasy settings
