Argynvostholt - Main Grounds

Added 2024-08-15 16:20:18 +0000 UTC

Hello all!

This month's 5E-based content is the main grounds of the castle of Argynvostholt, derived from the location of the same name from the Curse of Strahd adventure module. Like many of the adventures locations, while it is not strictly required to visit for a playthrough of the adventure's story, it does feature a number of characters that can be encountered in a variety of ways throughout other areas of the setting.

This particular location made the cut for an updated interpretation (in spite of the beautiful, full-color map found in the book) because it unfortunately does arrive in a 10ft grid square ratio, rather than the typical 5ft.

As you can likely guess, the other 3 floors that stack atop the main grounds here will arrive in a subsequent post. I'll likely try and squeeze all 3 into a single post, but the real estate is more or less the same as the main floor here, so no promises. Because of the relatively large file size of this 56x46 square map, there are multiple download links for different portions of the map content in order to accommodate Patreon's maximum file size limits.

Finally, as you can clearly see in the preview above, I've also taken the time to create an unfurnished, "restored" version of the castle grounds simply to act as a furnishable template for all of you, regardless of your interest in the original CoS module. I'll do the same for the upper floors of the castle as they arrive.

What's included in the Download:

The 56x46 square map of the high resolution copy of the main grounds of Argynvostholt, as previewed above
Unfurnished variants of the map, which still feature the same moody ambiance, mist, and tree line
A "restored" variant, where the ruined portions of the southern walls have been rebuilt, the blackened beams of the carriage house stripped away, mist dispelled, and the general coloration and mood of the scene having been de-spooked.
Gridded, gridless, and VTT-Compressed options for all of the above
