🕑 Added 2024-11-25 10:53:35 +0000 UTCHey all!
It's a big one today, as we bring you part 3 of Frozen 2, the enormous Argynvostholt for Vampire Hunters, and reveal our next theme!
The MAD Cartographer | Frozen 2
As a reminder, this month we wanted to bring you snow and ice maps ready for the holiday season next month. However, overly Christmas-y maps are often very niche, so we decided to lean into horror and go with bleak, twisted winter maps!
Wreck of the Ice Knife
This map showcases a large wooden ship that has been picked up and hurled ashore - by a giant storm or some other magical means of the DM's discretion! The ship was impaled on an unnaturally large pillar of ice growing from the beach, causing catastrophic damage and blasting elements of the ship all along the surrounding shoreline.
Now, part of the ship remains precariously impaled on a giant ice spike above.
Foundry users are able to ascend up to the ship, navigating the treacherous verticality of the map. Variants are included for Day/Night.
Winter Barracks
Many small towns in these bleak icy regions end up falling under harsh military rule, and this map provides the perfect place to show that power centre. A small military outpost complete with dormitories, common areas, commander's office, armory, and classrooms - perfect for sitting in the heart of a settlement ruled by armed forces. Foundry users are even able to choose whether they're taking top or bottom bunk!
Variants are included for Day/Night.
The gallery has been updated with this content, as well as pCloud, which you can access through your Theme Master List and the Foundry VTT module is updated and ready to be downloaded.
Vampire Hunters
Argynvostholt
This month's Vampire Hunter release is (once again) our biggest release to date! It was definitely a choice to bring all of the bigger maps out together but we regret nothing!
Argynvostholt is the ruined headquarters of the Order of the Silver Dragon, a now-defunct group of knights who fell against Strahd during his initial conquest of Barovia. Now, Argynvostholt is a ruin, haunted by the revenants of those fallen knights.
Argynvostholt is a massive map, spanning 6 floors (3 main floors, the roof floor, and then several layers of tower) resulting in a massive 12 maps once you include the night variants!
For this supplement we once again partnered with our friend LunchBreakHeroes, and the Foundry module contains the entirety of his Argynvostholt supplement from his Raising the Stakes guide!
One of our artists has been tirelessly working on Argynvostholt almost full time since July, and we really think that's evident in the level of quality you can find in every corner of this map!

Next Theme: Pick'n'Mix 9
Our next theme will be Pick'n'Mix 9. This is coming a little earlier than we typically schedule for (we try to hit Pick'n'Mix around every 6 months) but a few members of the team have been sitting on map ideas they're extremely enthusiastic about to we thought we'd get those out to you sooner rather than later!
These maps will release over the course of December, and will include (but far from limited to!) The Safe Shallows, High Ruler's Castle, Ashlands, and more!
We're very excited to share them with you, and we're already working ahead on the next 3 month's map themes!
Until then...
Keep Rollin' those 20's, folks!
