I'm so jealous of people who can afford DnD stuff. We use styrofoam cups, a piece of plywood, and the online pdf

Death House. Its the perfect way to let players know from the outset that "Curse of Strahd" is not kind to beginners or goof offs.

I simply forgot to credit the artist. I was up for ~20 hours when I originally posted. Thank you for reminding me kind people :)

Exterior vs interior makes me wonder if it's a TARDIS

Uh, just checked - it's Ravenloft for 5e, played it back in the '90s with AD&D

Fuck that house. We lost 5 people to it and I got possessed by two ghost kids at once, then killed 30+ cultists then beat a ghost to death

with its own arms I ripped off. And I was a wizard. Wizards cannot do that sorta stuff

This house is evil, sacrificed a rat by throwing it in the air and our rogue throwing a knife at it. Still annoyed the boss and ran away.

This allowed me to have the floors line up with the grid in Roll20, thank you :D

What's going on in the floor plan on the right side of #1? A complicated basement? That's a lot of dead space a house.

This is an awesome scenario. We almost wiped on our way back out.

Just started learning this kinda game. How long did you spend in one house?

I've ran this adveture twice and both times it took two 4 hour evenings.

I was downed by a trap, otherwise everyone (barely) got out fine in mine. I was immediately suspicious of the orb in the room with stars

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

So I abused being a filthy wizard and grabbed it with mage hand from the doorway just in case. It was a good decision. Paranoia forever.

We killed the beast in the basement then on our way out just smashed through a couple walls and avoided the big fights.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

That was honestly the best way out. My monk got eaten by the basement creature.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

both times I ran it the beast was killed by someone who rolled a 20 on a death save, that fight.

Fuck this house

The straight stairs on 3rd floor and attic make no sense as drawn. 3rd floor access is not shown clearly

I've played this very story line using Roll20. our DM did a great job, its a neat website/tool for this kinda thing.

Uhh what storyline?

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Death House. It's a small introduction story for Curse of Strahd. Comes in the same book.

Gonna build this in The Sims. Is this a standard Dungeons & Dragons gird? 1 square = 5 feet?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

So, I, uh. . . I just noticed the text at the bottom stating that it is in fact 1=5. I feel like a moron.

They're actually from the official book of the adventure "Curse of Strahd", he's just taken high quality scans of them.

The artist who created the maps, and most of the 5e adventure maps, makes them available for purchase (or free in this case) from his site.

What is the spiral between the two chimneys?

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Giant seashell.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Pretty sure it's a hidden spiral staircase.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

I thought so too, but it has no entrances

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Ah now I remember. The staircase won't physically show up until you inspect a dollhouse version of the house, and the wall just kinda melts>

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

>away to reveal the staircase. It literally will not show up unless you look at the dollhouse. Kinda dumb, but it forces the PCs to explore.

Only one toilet in a 6 bedroom house. That's preeeetty fucking suspicious.

It's a deathhouse, it smells like death. Mostly from everyone there shitting in the closets.

Medeivale period, you use the sam toilet as your pets

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

That's because the toilet is a mimic.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

No, wait, that isn't a john. That's the kitchen. So no toilets in a 6 bedroom house. Shieeeeet.
