Public Version - Road to the Abbey - 40x30

Happy Monday everyone! I've created a map for the switchback road leading up to the Abbey. It grows colder and colder as you head to the looming Abbey above the tiny rustic town below. Who knows what dangers await your players as they make their way?

Cheers,

DM Andy

Champion Tier - Borca - Scholomance (With LBH Aventure!)

Hey everyone! So today is very exciting because I finally get to release a collaboration project I have been working on with Lunch Break Heroes. I'm a big fan of LBH's content and use it in my own games as well (Seriously, Buster was so fun to run!). I was honored LBH asked me to create some maps for an encounter created for the greater Ravenloft lore. In addition to a map series today, you also get a copy of the written adventure created by Lunch Break Heroes!

This time, instead of B...

Sneak Peek - Borca - Scholomance (Lunch Break Heroes)

Hey everyone! If you remember, I mentioned I was working on a project with Lunch Break Heroes and I'm excited to show you some sneak peeks from the upcoming map release!

LBH is expanding into other areas of the Ravenloft lore and is starting off with the realm of Borca and the dark wizard academy of Scholomance. I am honored they would ask me to create some maps for this new adventure and I ...

Community Spotlight - Epic Fey Quest by Pyram King

Hey everyone! My colleague and fellow content creator Pyram King has created some amazing videos and has done me the great honor of featuring my maps in his videos.

This video was so epic I thought I would feature it as it's own post. The Fanes of Barovia are one of my favorite addons and I really think expanding on this lore helps glue together areas of the CoS module which otherwise seem a b...

Sneak Peek - The Abbey of St. Markovia

I know this has been a much anticipated map and I'm excited to show you just a sneak peek of it! This map will be a whooping 60x70 and I will release this in both 4k and 8k and in both jpg and webp (with the webp files sized for Foundry). 

Additionally, I'm including a version from Lunch Break Heroes which includes a library so you have lots of variants to choose from.

The core ma...

Public Version - The Fetid Swamp - Town Ruins - 40x40

Hi everyone! It's another Monday and that means another map release. Today, I'm very excited to bring you the ruins within the Fetid Swamp. This is a great location to run random encounters when your players are crawling through the murky swamps of this once great town. This will allow you to showcase the Vampire lords fury as your players plunge through the total and complete destruction of the town.

Cheers,

DM Andy

Public Version - Ruined Tower - 30x40

Hey everyone! Hope you had some great encounters along the Old Misty Road with last weeks release. Just in case your players spotted some odd lights taking them deeper into the Misty Woods, I have a map for you! I present, the Will-o-Wisp encounter map! I created this map with a ruined tower atop a hill within the Misty Woods. Your players can enter from the northern trail and follow the lights up the tower, where they will find an old decerped chest. And let's face it... we all know our play...

Public Version - Road into the Mists - 40x30

Happy Monday everyone! Hope most of you get to relax on this Labor Day. I know I'm excited to have a day off from my regular job so I can work on maps :)

Today I bring you one of many generic misty road maps I plan to make. This one is pretty basic with a road heading from east to west and lots of forest space for the vampires Minions to skulk about. I do plan on making other roads in different road configurations (including bridges) so stay tuned for more like this.

Cheers,

Champion Tier - Road to the Abbey - 40x30

Happy Monday everyone! I've created a map for the switchback road leading up to the Abbey. It grows colder and colder as you head to the looming Abbey above the tiny rustic town below. Who knows what dangers await your players as they make their way? 

For my patrons, I have created this map in the following variants: 

• Grid / Girdless
• Snow / No Snow
• Day / Night
• Clean Version (no weather or fog effects)
• 8k Versions of the base day ...

Sneak Peek - Krezk - Road to the Abbey

Here is a sneak peek of the current map I'm working on. This will be a switch back road and I tried to keep the map size as true to the module as I could get it. It will be a 40x30 map which will take your players up the windy and treacherous road to the Abbey looming above. 

I always felt this area needed an encounter and I ran some stuff here (I'll share the story when I make my map pos...

Updates: Foundry, Webp Files, and Next Maps

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share some news / projects I have been working on to keep our DM Andy Patreon community in the loop. 

Foundry VTT: I finally purchased a Foundry license and started playing around with the program. I'm planning on switching my VTT from Roll20 to Foundry for my next campaign once Curse of Strahd is over and I'm so excited! This means I will (hop...

Champion Tier - The Fetid Swamp - Town Ruins - 40x40

Update Oct 27th, 2021: My good friend Pyram King has done it again! This video is just epic and adds SO much to the swamps. I personally run this area as a very harsh and large area of my game and RAW does not offer a lot for the players to do here. Pyram gives you tons of random encounter ideas that are beyond just simply having monsters attack. They feel very natural and fitting for the area.

Sneak Peek - Ruins of Berez

Hey everyone! 

Here's a fun fact: I've been spelling "peek" wrong the entire time in my previous posts (sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself!)

For today's sneak peek, I am putting the finishing touches on a new Berez map, this time showcasing the ruins of the once village of Berez. This map will be 40x40 and contain 7 ruined buildings and a ruined tower, all covered in swamp...

Hi all, just wanted to post a quick note to let you all know I’m almost back from a lovely holiday with my wife.

Sneak Peak - Yester Hill - Druids' Circle

Having some fun working on the Druids' Circle of Yester Hill! I'll have many versions of this map, including with and without lightning, and with / without the wicker statue. I will also create the Wicker Statue as a .png file as well, just in case you wanted to move it around the map! 

I'm including the Megaliths as detailed in the DragnaCarta guide as well and even if you don't use his ...

Sneak Peak - Will-o-Wisp Encounter Map

Here is a sneak peak of the tower I'm working on for the Will-o-Wisp random encounter as detailed in the book. I love running Will-o-wisp's and I like to make them look like burning torch light in the woods, enticing my players to follow. For this map, I'm going to give you plenty of forest space along with a ruined tower on top of a hill. Should create plenty of opportunities for fun encounters her...

October Updates

Hey everyone! I feel like I've been stuck in the FeyWild because one second it was August and the next second I'm already six days into Oct. Not sure where that time went but here we are :)

So I just wanted to give you all a quick update on maps I'm working on and what to expect over the course of the next few weeks, so let's get into it!

The maps I have been cooking up here in the lab...

Sneak Peak - Luna River Crossroads

Here is a sneak peak of the next project I'm working on! Generic maps are always handy and I've found my players like to stick to the roads. This is one of the key locations along the Svalich Woods that I wanted to work on to include the Luna River, bridge, and all four crossroads here. Can't wait to hear what exiting encounters you have planned here! 

DM Andy Cameo with Lunch Break Heroes!

Hey all!

My dear friend over at Lunch Break Heroes produces some great content (if you have not yet heard of his channel, go check it out!). LBH was one of the first videos I found when I was prepping for Curse of Strahd and he had helped me tremendously with adding tons of amazing content to my game (Long live Buster!)

I'm a member of his Patreon channel and was given the opportunity to cameo along with other patrons in one of his videos! In case you wanted to see the "man behind...
