Happy Halloween šŸŽƒšŸ‘»

Vampires and isomorphic dungeon maps

Hello guys and ghouls,

Happy Halloween! I wanted to share a short note today to wish you a most spooky Thursday and to share a freebie with you.

But first, a short story…

One of a kind

Dungeon module I6: Ravenloft, written by Tracy and Laura Hickman, is one of my top 10 AD&D modules of all time. I’ve ran this adventure many times—and each time I do—I’m fascinated by its unique storytelling aspects and the ability to replay it again and again with different plots.

The weird thing is, I really don’t like vampires all that much. But, there’s something about this adventure that brings back fond memories of gaming’s past.

If you’ve never played this adventure module, or want to run it as a DM, you really should. Reply back if you want some tips on running it.

Isomorphic maps

One of the things that capitivated me the first time I bought and opened this module, was the intricately detailed map of Castle Ravenloft.

Feast your eyes on this beauty! šŸ‘‡šŸ½

The castle maps for Ravenloft.

Wow, so awesome!

Here’s Jeremy Crawford holding a poster-sized version that was included in the 5th edition book, Curse of Strahd.

Freebie time

To help celebrate the fun of halloween and Ravenloft, here’s a blank piece of graph paper in isomorphic format—so you can create your very own dungeon map.

It can be a little tricky to use at first, but practice makes perfect.

I hope you can put it to use—and of you do—please shar eit with me. I’d love to see what you create!

Until next time

Well, that’s all for today (see, I told you it was short). But before I go, I want to thank you for getting my YouTube channel to over 900 subscribers! THANK YOU!

Also, please remember I’m having a giveaway when I reach 1000 subscribers so stay tuned for more details next week.

Until then, happy halloween and happy gaming!

Have fun tonight and please be safe!
