Champion Tier - The Road to the Castle - [80x60]

Hey everyone! I'm excited to bring you my newest map; "The Road to the Castle". This is a pretty large map coming in at 80x60 and should give you plenty of ground to cover any encounters you might have planned as your players march (or take the black carriage) up to the castle. 

I was inspired by the classic 1992 Bram Stoker's Dracula movie where the scene when Jonathan Harker (Keanu Reeves) is taking the carriage to the Count's castle and he opens the door to speak with the "driver". There he glances downward and sees the wagon wheel merely inches away from the edge of the winding cliff where all you can see is mist and utter darkness below. I made the road nice and narrow to capture the unsafe feel of getting near the edge. 

For this map, you'll find plenty of elevated rock formations that loom over the road (Great for flying creatures peering at any visitors). Dotted along the bends of the road are aging and crumbling statues with mysterious hooded figures, each gripping a swinging and rusted lantern. Some say they are illuminated at night on their own, but no one is brave enough to investigate how this happens. Toward the edge of the cliff as you look out into the chasm below, all you can see for hundreds (possibly thousands) of feet is swirling fog and the black abyss.

You find various gravestones, weathered and aged, line the edges of the road as your wind your way upwards. Perhaps former heroes that have fallen to their doom on this treacherous path? Eventually, you come to a pair of crumbling towers with tattered banners and sneering gargoyles staring out through sunken eyes. As the wind sweeps across the chasm, you hear the sounds of heavy rusted iron chains creak loudly and the wooden planks of the bridge groan with age as they seem to be hardly hanging on. Beyond, the high castle walls silently look down on you with only the warm light of the open front door to the castle beckoning you to enter. 

For my Champion Tier members, this release comes with the following variants: 

• Grid / Gridless
• Day / Night
• Interior / Exterior for the guard towers for all variants 
• Rain
• Clean (No fog, lights, bats, etc)
• 8k Resolution 
• Webp files sized for VTT in both 4k and 8k. I've included a sizing guide to help you with the pixel count and pixels by square dimensions for your VTT. 

Since Aug is a 5 Monday month, I will be taking a week off from releasing next week on the 22nd so I can catch up on some of my pending projects. I am currently working on finishing up the next Lunch Break Hereos original adventure, which will feature a school of anatomy, a graveyard, and a crypt with a really fun mystery for your players to solve! This map pack will come with 4 different maps along with the LBH adventure so a great way to end the month. 

Then I'll be working on the next chapter of the Interactive Tome of Strahd, and a forest road campsite map. 

Oh and lastly... I'll be starting my work on the exterior version of nonother than Castle Ravenloft!! Stay tuned for some amazing releases on deck for the next few weeks! Thanks as always for your support and patronage! 

Cheers,

DM Andy
