Battle Mapping Barovia: Part 1 (w/ Special Thank You Message & FREE Map of Barovia)
I’ve been dying to put together a way to showcase the battle maps I’ve made for Barovia (Curse of Strahd) by location and this is what I came up with! Decided to break it up into parts as the video would’ve been too long. So, check back every Friday at 12pm for the next video until this series is complete.
Today we begin our adventure in Barovia. The town is rundown and it's inhabitants look worse for wear. An old lady is set up on a corner selling pies - the smell is intoxicating - and you are pulled towards her to see what pie options she has. While the streets aren't very populated you feel as is if your being watched by the whole town. Feeling a bit lost the local tavern points you in the direction of the burgomaster's location where you meet Ismark, his young sister Ireena, and their father (his body lain on the floor at the entrance of the house waiting to be taken to the church for burial. If Ismark and Ireena are in mourning you can't tell, based on their composure you can visibly tell they are bound by duty to the townspeople of the Village of Barovia.

Also, I hit a huge milestone over on my Patreon and I decided that this parchment map of Barovia would be a great give-a-way. Here’s a special thank you message and details for getting the map:
Hey Everyone!

My wife and I, want to personally THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU for being part of this map-making adventure and for all your support. Cheers to our growing community!!!!

As a special thanks, DM Andy has created a free parchment map of Barovia with tons of variants for you all to enjoy!
The variants included are as follows:
•With and without hex grid (A note on the hex. It is not exactly to scale per the module but I tried to get it as close as I could!)
•With and without the scale marker so you can add your own scale
•With and without location names
•Versions without special locations names (Magaliths, Amber Temple, Yester Hill, etc)
•4k & 8k
•Webp files in both 4k & 8k. Gridding in Foundry was a bit challenging, but the included guide will get it fairly close to what I intended for the hex size
