Sneak Peek - Reaching Fog Woods

Added 2022-04-07 18:47:45 +0000 UTC

Greetings everyone and happy Sneak Peek Thursday!

Today I'm excited to show off a small portion of my next map; The Reaching Fog Woods.

It is always recommended to stay to the roads when traveling across Barovia, however, some parties might find the need venture into the haunted Svalich woods. As reaching, finger-like tendrils of fog swirl around your party, the branches of the dead trees looming overhead creak and groan. A set of red eyed ravens peer at you perched atop web covered branches as they wait for their next meal to devour. Either from the skulking spiders or the prowling wolves, the Ravens of Barovia never go without a corpse to feed on for long.

This map can be a perfect map for a (very) foggy woods encounter. I've dramatized the fog for that creepy, eerie effect and you'll find finger-like tendrils reaching toward the small path that cuts through the center. This map will feature moss and web covered dead trees, dramatic shadows of looming branches overhead and red-eyed ravens. The further you get from the center path, the thicker the fog becomes until your adventuring party will be all but consumed.

This map will be a 40x40 map and once released, I'll create different variants for my Patrons such as a version with rain or one without the ravens. And of course a no-fog version for those who want to add their own fog effects.

Up next I'll be working the next chapter of the Interactive Tome of Strahd, some more Berez maps, and a revamped version of one of my oldest maps, the Tsolenka Pass Gatehouse and Tower. Stay tuned!
