I am about to run the Curse of Strahd for my group. Was wondering if anyone had any experience with the battle maps done by Venatus Maps? I saw maps on Encounter Roleplay ... Yeah I know Roll 20 ... UGH!!! But they looked really nice. I'm not sure if these are the ones he used. The DM mentioned that he got them on Drive Thru ... no luck ... but found the Venatus on DM's Guild. Do you know if these are the same? Anyone have a preference or any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Venatus does amazing maps - very clear and great for VTT use, in a style similar to Mike Schley.

I’ve been supporting them on Patreon for a number of months now. Check them out: https://www.patreon.com/venatusmaps. A $1 pledge will give you access to all of the maps. They’ve just made a new post that makes it easy to find all of the CoS related maps. Well worth a look for $1!

I used the maps that come with the mod - I didnt really find them to be an issue.

Are you talking about the high-res maps of Castle Ravenloft?

I don't have any real issue with the maps that come with a module. It certainly would be less work for me to use them. It was the WOW!!! factor when I was watching Will's stream. I know the group I play with, would really enjoy these maps. The ones he was using were very atmospheric and said Ravenloft to me. So this would simply be an aesthetic choice for me.

I have a module on the DMsGuild (pwyw) with battle maps for Castle Ravenloft and linking pins to the content from the Curse of Strahd FG module.
