Sneak Peek: CoS - Reloaded: Chief's Longhouse
Added 2025-07-24 16:52:51 +0000 UTC
Hello everyone and happy Sneak Peek Thursday! Today, I am showing a bit of my next map for the CoS: Reloaded series for Arc R. This time, I'll be working on the Chief's Longhouse as outlined in the Soldav village section (You can find this part here on the Reloaded guide).
This will have both exterior and interior, and I am also creating a "feast" version where long tables are set out, so you can also switch the map out for "The Night of Clear Skies" event.
Also, for my VTT crowd, like I did with the Sea Ghost, I'll have the exterior (roof/facade) and even the interior pillars as transparent files so you can overlay this over the interior.
One last thing, if you have not already, check out the incredible work by Caleb Is Drawing! He just posted his Chief Diegia art on his Patreon, and it looks incredible. The timing could not have been more perfect.
I'll catch up with you all Monday for the full release.
Cheers,
DM Andy

Reloaded is just one of the few projects I'm working on currently alongside my Saltmarsh and Lothburgh projects. But the core of CoS won't be finished until I've redone all my maps as v2.0's with my updated style and there is still so much more ground to cover. The 1st week in Aug I'll have the Coffin Maker's shop ready to go and I plan to hit the other locations in Vallaki as well: Watcherhaus, Town Square, Aresek Stockyard and some other locations like the Orphanage of St. Andral and my own Sanguine Rose Brothel / Larnak Publications. I also have Krezk, Berez, Tsolenka, Wizard of Wines and Yester Hill to cover with updated maps so I'm far from being done with CoS. As far as other artists' recommendations, I don't know of anyone off the top of my head that has extensively done the full cast of CoS NPCs like Caleb has, but I'll keep my eyes peeled. I'm sure there are other styles. I love ArtStation for finding new artists to follow, and though not CoS specifically, I follow an artist named Yuri Hill who creates incredibly creepy scenes that scream Barovia that I think you'd like for inspiration.

2025-07-24 21:48:55 +0000 UTCAre you going to be focusing on Dragnacarta Reloaded only for COS moving forward? I have used a few bits and pieces of his rewrite but his story goes way way off the rails for me, so I canβt see much use for maps based on his version of COS. So it would be good to know what your plans are regarding COS. Also the link to Calebβs art is only visible if you are his Patreon as it is locked art. Do you recommend any other artists on Patreon? Art is subjective and I know a lot of people love Calebβs work, but I am not a fan of using cartoons for my DND campaign visuals. Which is one of the reasons I love your maps. They are gritty, gothic and realistic. So any photorealistic style artists would be up my alley. Thanks!
