Hello everyone, and happy New Release Monday! Today, I am excited to bring you the next installment in my re-work of the Vallaki maps for Curse of Strahd. This is part I of the Wachterhaus (The Exterior), with part II (Interior) coming next week.

For this rework, I wanted to re-imagine the grounds a bit more than the original map while still keeping with the overgrown and unkempt current state of this old home.

For the trellis archways, I created a version with and without the tops so they don't impede token space. For my VTT crowd, I also created the house as well as the trellis tops, should you want to use these layers with your own VTT. Additionally, we'll be including a Levels version of the Foundry module once the interior is released, as well as a non-Levels version, which will incorporate these layers.

Starting with the old and rusted iron gates, a pair of gargoyles perched on the ivy-covered walls stare, unmoving and ever-watchful at your party as the gate groans and creaks open.

Instead of an overgrown patch of crops (Which I always felt out of place) I added an overgrown garden inspired by the Haunted Mansion attraction. Moss-covered statues and markers indicating pet burials loom over the overgrown thorns, ivy, and weeds. Dark purple roses grow in from twisting vines that cling to trellises that shape the yard.

Around the back are the staff outhouses as well as a small storage shed leading to the other side of the manor, which features a circular rose garden with stone benches. Great for private conversations (or veiled threats)!

For the house, you'll find the old manor covered in vines with glowing windows indicating warm light from within. A gothic window overlooks the entryway, which sits upon a dead leaf-covered stone porch.

I hope you like my version of the Wachterhaus! I will have the interior ready by next week, which will include the 1st & 2nd floor as well as the basement (With a CoS: Reloaded version as well).

Cheers friends,

DM Andy

Hello Andy, seems I can't have access to the latest map ( Wachter Ext ).

Awesome! More COS! My players are walking to Vallaki at this moment! I need everything on there! Is there any checklist for the pending locations that you have for anyone to see, just to see what is missing, at least in V2, I know you have most of them in V1! love all the job! Hope to see more from your awesome job! Thanks in advance!

Really excited for this! I'm prepping for my second CoS campaign next month. It's going to be a return trip for three of my players and the last time I ran it was when the module had just been released. Back then I had had large format prints of the maps from the official versions since we gamed in person, but now I am so excited to reintroduce them to the melancholy sights of Barovia through your maps. They really make these locations feel lived in and real. It's going to melt their brains coming back to some of these memorable locations and finding them looking like this. For one of my players it will be her first time, so she's getting a spoiled, lol.

Such stunning work once again Andy. I absolutely love the details, like the curvy path and old steps that lead to the door, or the rose garden. So inspiring. So stoked for the interior now!!! Are you by any chance going to work on the winery and Krezk sometime soon?

My party has spent time in Vallakovich’s manor but minimal time in Wachterhaus now that the Baron ist kaput and Fiona is the new Burgomaster, the party is certain to dragged into events which require an exploration of Fiona’s residence. I just have a feeling . . . Muahahahahaha!
