Champion Tier - Gallows Crossroads | 40x30

Hey everyone, and happy New Release Monday! For today, I'm releasing my updated River Ivlis Crossroads, which I've named "Gallows Crossroads." 

This 40x30 map features a winding dirt road cutting through a creaking and swaying pine forest. Off to the side of the road, you can see an old gallows that was used to publicly execute people who violated the laws of the realm. Nearby, an old, overcrowded graveyard remains with the unkept graves of those who lost their lives here. 

A crooked road sign gives way to weary travelers looking for respite from their long journies. 

This map features two core versions, with and without the gallows. I placed a few trees where the gallows are to give you a few options, making it a little less specific and better for general use. 

Even though the module specifies 11 graves, I felt it needed more and loved the look of an overcrowded graveyard (this was inspired by some real-world locations!). 

The road inclines to the south and declines to the west and the road sign lists the various locations to be traveled to. 

I also included plenty of murky puddles of muddy water due to the constant rainfall in this region. 

It is said those riding past the gallows will show morbid signs of their own fate should they let the whispers of the realm seep into their minds...

For my Champion Tier Patrons, this map includes the following:

That's a wrap for March! I cannot believe we are four months into the year already, where has the time gone??

As I head into April, I get a little bit of wiggle room to catch up as it's a five-Monday month, so for Monday, April 1st, there will be no map release (I know the timing is odd, but I promise this is not a weird April Fools thing haha). 

However, I'll be working on finishing up the restored Burgomaster's Manor in Berez to support the awesome Interactive Tome of Strahd module (Third-party content available on the DMs Guild). 

For Saltmarsh, I'll be working on the Hoolwatch Tower next as I work my way through the 11th location in Saltmarsh! 

Thank you, as always, for your support, and I'll catch up with you all in a few weeks. 

Cheers,

DM Andy

Awesome!! So glad I could help and thank you!

Andy D'Amato

I found it! Thanks and keep up the great work!

There should be a file in each .zip folder that you downloaded call "VTT Sizing Guide". I usually include it in each .zip file just to make sure it does not get lost since I have to attach multiple .zip files to the post (due to Patreon upload size limits).

Andy D'Amato

Thanks for responding Andy! Where can I find that guide?

ROCCO S MARIANI

Thank you so much! I do provide a document called the "VTT Sizing Guide" which contains the intended grid range (40x30 for this map) along with the pixel sizes and PPI for both 4k and 8k version. It varies per VTT and I've only really used Roll20 & Foundry but I don't think the others (like Fantasy Grounds for instance) are too different. If you're using Roll20 (which I personally use for my own games) I don't mess with any other value except the grid size. I just enter in the grid values and drop the map in. For Foundry, I enter in the pixel range and PPI values and Foundry should do the rest and build the grid to match accordingly.

Andy D'Amato

First off...love your maps! They're amazing! My question is, do you have a guide for how to get them to scale properly in the different VTTs?

ROCCO MARIANI

That's awesome!! Please do let me know how the meeting with the dread lord himself goes!!

Andy D'Amato

Ha! On top of being as detailed as always, you have no idea how timely you are. My players are having their first meeting with Strahd there this week !

Pyrosophy

Thank you!! And yes.. this is perfect for an ambush!

Andy D'Amato

Gorgeous work as always! Time for an ambush or linching. Maybe both
