Cragmaw Castle Map Pack! [44 x 32]
🕑 Added 2020-12-12 06:51:29 +0000 UTCAfter many days of wrestling with the many circles, 5' thick walls and styling to maintain the look, feel and atmosphere of the original work by Mike Schley, I'm happy to announce the release of the Cragmaw Castle Map Pack!
This Map Pack contains [3] different maps:
1. Cragmaw Castle (Ruined), as written/presented in Lost Mine of Phandelver.
2. Restored Cragmaw Castle (1st Floor)
3. Restored Cragmaw Castle (2nd Floor)
The Restored Cragmaw Castle was done in response to the many DMs who showed an interest in their parties wanting to occupy and restore Cragmaw Castle after retaking it from its inhabitants. The Castle contains [2] Floors (and will eventually feature a Lower Level that will be released for free at a later date).
The 1st Floor contains:
Main Entry/Terrace & Front Gate.
Armory (SW corner) to arm your castle defenses.
Guard Barracks (NW corner) for your NPC hirelings, followers or guards to man the keep and keep a watch on things in your absence.
Chapel (North side) for your cleric, paladins and/or religious members of the faith to worship, pray and seek guidance.
Dining Hall (Center) to entertain guests, celebrate and relax amidst adventures.
Kitchen (East side) to serve up all the delicious vittles your hungry party needs as they adventure through your world/adventure.
Granary/Buttery (SE Corner) to house supplies for the castle, ale for the fighting men/women, and I added a stairway in case people would like to have a cellar and/or lower level for some other reason. Perhaps it was discovered when renovations began (for now, a cellar, but someone may discover behind a crumbling wall, there's more to be discovered).
War Room (North Side) to hold discussions on campaigns, conquest, adventures and missions for the party or the castle.
Commander's Quarters (NE Corner) to house a pivotal PC or NPC that manages the day-to-day of the castle defenses, while most of the class-themed party's quarters will be located upstairs on the 2nd Floor. Contains a front office, bedroom and private bathroom.
The 2nd Floor contains:
Murder Holes (Above Western Terrace) - the castle has 4 trapdoors that can be opened to reveal the terrace below for throwing stones or firing arrows. It also has a grate through which boiling oil can be poured.
Library (NW Corner) - an expansive library with several tables, many books, a few relics and an optional magic circle. Low level parties might have it as a decoration while high-level parties may use it for teleportation or other purposes.
Servant's Quarters (NE Corner) - a small set of bunk beds for the servants of the castle, who can tend the baths, restrooms and other jobs in the castle proper.
Baths (NE Corner) - a set of tubs to accommodate baths, with a drain dumping water to the exterior of the castle.
Guild/Clan Hall (Center) - a large hall with a roaring fire, comfortable seating, game table, throwing knife targets, books, wine and, of course, the optional green dragon head mounted upon the wall.
Warrior's Chamber (North - Right) - designed to accommodate fighters, barbarians or other martial classes, the bedroom features weapon racks, sword display, suit of armor, barrel of ale, and a distinct lack of desk space.
Rogue's Chamber (North - Left) - designed to accommodate rogues, assassins, burglars and the like, the bedroom features a lockpicking station, weapon poisoning table, comfortable accommodations and stylish decor.
Bard's Chamber (Middle - Right) - designed to accommodate bards, rogues or anyone with style, grace and a taste for music. The bedroom features a large bed, several pictures (of you, of course), comfortable couches for playing with friends, ample wine and a bit of intellectual work on the desk to prove you aren't just ALL good looks and snappy comments.
Paladin's Chamber (SW Corner) - designed to accommodate paladins, clerics or other clergy, the bedroom features a lit shrine to fighting deity, sword and shield display, bookshelves for study, and a desk for some light reading or research.
Wizard's Chamber (SE Corner) - designed to accommodate wizards, sorcerers, warlocks and the like, the bedroom features many bookshelves, spell book upon a large desk etched with magical runes/symbols, a magical fire by which to read, and a few items of interest sprinkled about the shelving, including a wizard's staff.

would love to see a 3rd level (the top of the towers) Thanks for all your hard work. Worth paying for. Truth be told. You are my first patreon!

Thanks for the feedback! I will definitely see about making some of those changes to make the map better!

I absolutely love this version of Cragmaw Castle! Your artwork is excellent and my players prefer it even to the original maps by the talented Mike Schley. However, I did notice two things: 1. Just like with the map by Mike Schley, it contains a very identifiable path to the concealed door on the north side of the castle. Wish there was a version of the map that didn't have the path because players are immensely drawn to the exact location of the concealed door. It really negates the need for a "DC15" perception check required to locate the "footpath leading up to the hidden entrance." 2. The door is missing from the west wall of Area 8, Dark Hall. No big deal, I'm just going to make it a secret door.
