Bildrath's Mercantile (18x20, 200px)

This week, we have Bildrath's Mercantile. I've heard so many stories of players picking fights with Bildrath (and rightly so - he's not a very nice man), and while a lot of these players back down when his nephew emerges from the stockroom, I imagine some don't. Well, now I've made a map for that scenario!

I hope you like it!

I won't be home for a few days next week, but I'm going to try to get ahead of the map this time so I can post something regardless. I still have a lot of ...

St Andral's Church (50x50, 200px) - Modest & Opulent Variants

Even during my first pass at making maps for Curse of Strahd, I felt that reusing the map for the Church of the Morning Lord in Barovia Village didn't make sense for Vallaki. Vallaki has a higher population, and is ruled by a man who will stop at nothing to persuade the people of the town that "All will be well". Given that people often seek shelter and protection in churches, it makes sense then, that St Andral's Church would be well funded, and may even stand as a monument of opposition to ...

St Andral's Church Preview

Hi folks!

Right now I'm working on a map for St Andral's Church.

I've often said that I don't like that the book advises you to reuse the map for the Church of the Morning Lord in Barovia, since the village of Barovia is a much smaller settlement than Vallaki, and I always imagined that the propaganda machine of Vallaki would ensure their place of worship was very well funded, to bett...

Pyram King's Guide to Random Encounters

Hi folks!  The wonderful Pyram King has released a free module for random encounters in Barovia, and it features my Old Svalich Road Campsite map!

You can check out the Guide to Random Encounters on his Patreon, and you can also see his breakdown of the encounters on 2022-02-14 18:27:10 +0000 UTC View Post

Arasek Stockyard (50x50, 200px)

I've provided versions of this map with and without Rictavio's Wagon, and you can find my tokens for Rictavio's Wagon here, if you'd prefer to include the wagon as a token that can be moved in your virtual table top. The token also has an interior, should your party be brave enough to enter.

I also want to start adding more overlay levels for Foundry VTT - for this map, I've added a boat in t...

Snowy Cliffside (30x30, 200px)

I'm going to be honest, folks - I am amazed at the growth I've seen in this Patreon since I finished Castle Ravenloft. I just want to thank you all again for signing up - it really does mean an awful lot to me, and it gives me a lot of hope for the future.

I'm moving house this month, so I'd like to apologize in advance for the fact I might not be quite as productive as usual - I'm still going to aim for at least a map a week, but I'm going to be a little distracted until I get settled...

Berez - Goat Pen (40x40, 200px)

This one is simple enough - I just wanted to separate it from Ulrich Mansion due to the size of the pen itself. I had to do maths to figure out the size of the pen, since we're not given its size in the module, only that there are 50 skulls and they're all 10ft apart. I think this technically has 52 skulls, but we'll overlook that for now... I also drew a goat skull asset with a half-buried variant for my own use - the list of assets I need to draw for myself just keeps getting longe...

Ulrich Mansion 2.0 (30x50, 200px)

This one was a bit of a challenge - I really wanted to try to convey just how overgrown the garden of the Mansion had become in the years since Berez was destroyed. I hope you feel I did it justice!

I'm still working through updating all the old maps to fit the current formats and style - you can check the compendium post to see how far I've gotten so far!

Castle Ravenloft Foundry Build by u/splashed_potato

Some of you already saw on the Curse of Strahd subreddit a few days ago that u/splashed_potato put together a Castle Ravenloft build for Foundry VTT using my maps, and they were kind enough to provide this build for the community! This features every level of the castle on a single scene, with walls, lights, doors, windows, and stairs all set up for your convenience, plus a pretty nifty macro for the brazier in the dungeon.

Attached is a zip file containing all the files you'll need to...

Old Svalich Road Campsite (30x30, 200px)

Edit: 13/03/22

I already made a separate post about this, but just in case anybody finds this map without being aware of the other post, Pyram King included this map in his Guide to Random Encounters, which also comes with a Foundry module!

This is just a simple campsite map, perfect for a random encounter! Your party might be roused in the middle of the ni...

Berez - Churchyard (30x42, 200px)

I can't begin to tell you how liberating it is to work on something that isn't Castle Ravenloft.

I had a lot of fun with this one - I think sometime around the time I mapped the Amber Temple, something clicked for me with the Forgotten Adventures assets, and it really helped my maps along a bit. It's kind of nice to see how obvious this change is, comparing this to 2022-01-16 19:43:21 +0000 UTC View Post

Castle Ravenloft Lower Dungeon - Dungeons & Catacombs (100x70, 160px)

It's done. It's finally done.

So... many... variants...

Castle Ravenloft's Dungeons and Catacombs concludes my second ever Complete Curse of Strahd Map Pack. I mean, technically it's not 100% complete, but I've done all the combat-ready battle maps from the adventure and some extra! I'll be tackling some missed spots in Berez soon, as well as some random encounters and community supplements, but if anybody has any ideas for what comes next, I'd love to hear them!

I'm also...

Castle Ravenloft Upper Dungeon - Larders of Ill Omen (100x70, 160px)

Edit 08/01/2022:

This edit mostly serves to provide WebP files with transparent backgrounds for the upper dungeon, and to remove the stairs from K79 - as these stairs feature an encounter whereby an illusion appears midway up or down the stairs from the landing. I thought it best to avoid splitting the stairs in two, so the party will be able to see what's happening if you choose to include it on the battle map!

As with the edit of the Spires of Ravenloft, I've a...

Castle Ravenloft 3rd Floor-Roof - Spires of Ravenloft (100x70, 160px)

Edit 08/01/2022:

It was pointed out to me on Reddit that I'd misread the height of the roof over Ravenloft's Rooms of Weeping and the guard towers along the parapet! So, I've reuploaded the maps to reflect the correct heights, whereby the guard towers look over the roof.

It was also mentioned that it might be a good idea to include versions of the map that remove the Heart of Sorrow, should it meet an untimely end, as well as a token for the heart and its shatte...

Castle Ravenloft 2nd Floor - Rooms of Weeping (100x70, 160px)

This floor took a little longer than it could have, largely due to the amount of assets I tried to create for it, and my insistence on mapping the tower in the treasury (I have provided the upper floor and the roof of the treasury as tiles for Foundry and within JPEGs of the whole floor, so use whatever works best with your set-up!). It took a lot of work, and I imagine most folk won't even pick up on all of the detail, but I'm pretty proud of the result!

Most of the assets I ...

Castle Ravenloft 1st Floor - Court of the Count (100x70, 160px)

The Court of the Count is done!

The files with transparent backgrounds for this one are WebP files, as the PNGs were, as I expected, somewhat unwieldy. If there's serious demand for it, I can provide the PNG files as well, though I suspect most folk won't want to deal with files that robust.

I've provided a cobweb overlay that you can use in Foundry as an overhead tile so that when your players enter a room like the Audience Hall, where the ceiling is meant to be heavily obscure...

Castle Ravenloft Ground Floor - Main Floor (100x70, 160px)

Edit 20/12/2021: The downside of tackling Ravenloft floor by floor is that sometimes I miss a detail because it isn't referred to until later in the notes for the castle. The stairs in the north section of the chapel are made of wood, and this is important because it's meant to make it impossible to sneak up on the Strahd zombies - for some reason the stairs are mentioned in K16, but only described as wood in K29. I've reuploaded the files with this corrected, and I've also p...

The Amber Temple 2.0 (54x60, 200px)

I tried to put in as much detail as possible into this one, to the point that I actually had to draw some of the assets you see here myself, and spent a lot of time in Photoshop cobbling together others from various parts of Forgotten Adventures assets - I'm particularly proud of the treasury, which features almost every object listed in the module. I also included tokens for the illusory feast, so you can simply hide or remove the token once the spell is broken, as well as a token for some s...

Tsolenka Pass Bridge 2.0 (30x32, 200px)

For the second part of Tsolenka Pass, we have the bridge! Up next, we have The Amber Temple, and then on to Castle Ravenloft. I'll likely release Ravenloft on a floor-by-floor basis, due to the unholy size of the place - after that, aside from supplementary locations, that will be my second Complete Curse of Strahd Map Pack completed!

You can find the Tsolenka Pass Gate map here.

Tsolenka Pass Gate (30x30, 200px)

This one took a little longer than expected, as Forgotten Adventures were just about to release a Vrock token when I was getting close to the finish line. I decided to wait, so I could take the token and use it to represent the petrified Vrocks on top of the gatehouse - I'm pretty happy with the result! Unfortunately, there are limits to what I can share from the Forgotten Adventures catalog, so to avoid breaching their terms of use, I can not provide the Vrock statues as tokens in their own ...

Church of the Morning Lord 2.5 (20x35, 200px)

Werewolf Den 2.0 (50x55, 200px)

Edit 15/06/2022: Updated to standardize formats and style, and made some other minor visual improvements. I'm sorry for how long it's taken me to get back to the process of updating the older maps, folks - the last few months have been somewhat chaotic, but I'm finally getting back into the rhythm of things again, so I should be able to get back to it!

I'm still going to aim for at least one original map a week, and I'll try to update an older map in-between them. The ...

Van Richten's Tower 2.0 (22x30, 200px)

For this one, I've made the JPEGs available with and without Ezmerelda's Wagon - if you'd like to use a token instead of having it built into the map, you can find the token for Ezmerelda's Wagon here. I've also included a version of the tower after it has collapsed, as I did with my original map, I've made ...

Abbey of Saint Markovia 2.0 (64x80, 200px)

This one proved a little trickier than I was expecting - the level of detail I've been pushing for recently caused Dungeondraft to struggle a lot during the process, as each level of this map contains thousands of assets. I also had some trouble with getting the layers right for use as regular JPEGs and as tiles for Foundry - my current system relies on duplicating certain areas to tailor them towards each export type, which is far from ideal and only adds to the burden on Dungeondraft. I'm g...

Rictavio's Wagon Token (4x7, 200px)

Continuing with the series of vehicle tokens I mentioned previously, this is Rictavio's wagon, with and without Drusilla, Rictavio's horse. I'm not sure what it is about the white background on Patreon, but it always makes these tokens seem much darker than they actually are... I spent some time looking at images of horse harnesses, but eventually just settled on something pretty simple, because frankly, I didn't really want to spend hours learning exactly how harnesses work...

I'm not...
