These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. zip file of the original high-resolution maps for you to use outside of the Fantasy Grounds program has been included. Note: These maps have been optimized for use in Fantasy Grounds. Once you own it, make sure it is loaded and all of the pins included in that module will be active on these new maps! We've also included pins linking these new player maps back to the original isometric maps for easy reference. To use this module, I would encourage you to purchase the 5th Edition Curse of Strahd module for Fantasy Grounds. This Fantasy Grounds module contains edited player maps (provided to the community by Pigonthewing), and incorporates all of the pins found in the Fantasy Grounds Curse of Strahd 5e module included right on the maps, making Castle Ravenloft easier to run for DMs! Getting ready to run Castle Ravenloft for your players using the Fantasy Grounds virtual table-top program? Are the isometric maps originally included in the adventure an issue? You're in luck! The Combat and Tactics supplement for late-cycle AD&D 2nd Edition, part of the books that are sometimes called 'AD&D 2.5e', was the one that started explicitly tracking squares, started using 5-foot squares instead of 10-foot squares, and reduced the combat round to 10-15 seconds rather than 1 minute segments.This module now works in Fantasy Grounds Unity, with Line of Sight for the entirety of Castle Ravenloft! Battle Maps for Castle Ravenloft, with working pins from the Fantasy Grounds CoS module!! I'd also like to note that it wasn't exactly 3rd Edition that caused the shift in scale. This was also important because then you could convert 1 inch of movement into 10 yards while out in the wilderness, compared to 10 feet while inside a dungeon.Īlso, there was the temporal component to consider: because the smallest representation of time, which was the combat round, was 1 minute long, you sort of had to have larger squares because you didn't need the fine-grained granularity of 5-foot-squares if the lengths of time assumed to happen within that round was so long (1 minute) in the first place.Īs for how many persons would fit in a square, older D&D editions suggested that you could have two, or as many as three, man-sized humanoids fit across a 10-foot corridor. You had 10-foot squares because of that 10:1 scale conversion.

The older books used to tell you to measure out movement in terms of inches, with 1 inch of movement representing 10 feet of simulated in-game dungeon. The 5e adventure uses the old maps for the original adventure back in the 1980's.Īt that time, the squares of maps were 10 foot:ĭ&D had its roots in wargaming. You could either use them as-is (and lose the feeling that the castle is big, or redraw the maps splitting each square into four.
