[Public] Parchment Map of the Village of Barovia
🕑 Added 2025-04-07 18:47:28 +0000 UTC
Hello everyone, and happy New Release Monday!
Today, I’m excited to share something a little different from my usual battlemaps — a parchment-style map of the Village of Barovia!
I've been toying with this idea ever since I created my world map of Barovia in a similar parchment style. But for this closer look at the village, I knew I wanted something more detailed than the simple icons used in the world map. I’ve always loved the intricacy of the book’s village map, and I wanted to honor that level of detail.
Instead of a flat or abstract layout, I chose an isometric approach — something that captures the feeling of a cartographer perched on a hilltop, sketching the village from a high vantage point. It brings out the structure and shape of Barovia in a way that feels both practical and atmospheric.
This map is designed to work as a player handout — something you can drop into your game to help guide your party through the mist-shrouded streets of Barovia.
I hope you enjoy this take on the Village of Barovia! I’m planning to continue this style with parchment maps of Krezk and Vallaki, and I may even revisit my Saltmarsh parchment map to bring it in line with this new look.
I hope you enjoy it!
Cheers,
DM Andy

I think I might blow up my computer doing a battlemap to that scale! I did about 1/4 of this scale with the Gothic Village map which was based off the right edge of VoB and the export times and process lag was so brutal with the sheer number of assets! Though... that's not to say it's impossible but will have to think of a better approach to create a map of this scale as a battlemap for sure. It would be an epic project!!

dear god…absolutely marvellous Andy!!! Now I wish for this exact map in your current mapping style for the players to move their tokens through 😭

Can't wait for you to share it!! Do you plan to give your players a map "in game" or are you going to load it up as a background image for between scenes?

I love this! My players will love it, too. Can’t wait for the next cities!
