I was recently asked by a friend of mine to contribute some maps towards a stream she's going to be running in October, which requires a series of large scale arenas for reasons that will become apparent if you tune into the stream! This is the first of the maps I'm contributing to the project, and I have her permission to pu...

Another map that could easily be dropped into any campaign, but that could work quite well within Barovia for Curse of Strahd - it's mentioned that there's farmland in the valley around Barovia village, so why not include an encounter on a farm along the road?
I've included a variant with a dead horse, as I imagine som...

One of those maps that can be dropped into any campaign, this is a simple crossroads among the trees.
Thought not intended strictly for Curse of Strahd, it would serve the campaign quite well, and I've included a misty variant to suit that purpose, should you wish to use it! The fact that it's not tied strictly to CoS ...

I'd hoped to publish this one a few days ago, but I was struck quite hard by a mystery illness over the weekend, and wound up sleeping for 36 hours over two days. It was an unpleasant time.
But yes - the map! There's no map for Mary's house in Barovia in the adventure, but I thought it might be a nice location to map o...
Hi folks!
So, it has been a long time since I just offered an update on where things are with Aonbarr Cartography, so I thought I'd fill you all in on a few things!
First things first, however - a note of thanks:
I'm constantly blown away by how far the Patreon has come since I set it up; I was r...
Continuing the 'I can't believe I haven't mapped this location yet' series, we have the Gates of Barovia, as approached from the east.
A lot of fan-art depicts the Gates as part of a wall, but in the module itself, the gates are only supported by buttresses. The Gates of Barovia, from my understanding, serve l...
I'm not sure why it took me so long to tackle the Blood of the Vine Tavern, honestly - it seems like something I should've done quite early on, after finishing all the maps in the adventure itself. Well, it's here now!
I made sure to refer to the map of the village to get the general shape of the building, and I tried ...

I've been meaning to return to Yester Hill for a while - whereas with most of the older maps in the Curse of Strahd collection, updating the old maps happened within the existing Dungeondraft file and required swapping out different textures and assets with only some sections requiring total overhauls, for this one, I decided...

it slips through the seasons,
ages, withers,

When the party first arrives in Barovia, one of the first things that's likely to happen is the discovery of the body of Dalvan Olensky, who is carrying a letter from Kolyan Indirovich. If the party linger long enough here, the wolves whose tracks can be spotted on the ground around his corpse return, and combat ensues.
