I followed this tutorial by Encounter Library to make the maps, using Dysonesque assets. In my world, van Richten arrived over a year ago, before the Mad Mage did, and took the opportunity while Strahd was dealing with the Mad Mage to investigate the castle. TL DR: These are partial maps of Castle Ravenloft in Dungeondraft that, story-wise, were made by van Richten as part of a scouting mission. So, everything that follows is with this goal in mind: I want my players to have information about Castle Ravenloft that they can use to plan out what happens at the dinner and needed to make gaining the information logically consistent with their backstories and the world. I gave them the invitation for dinner from Strahd one session ago and thought it could be fun for them to make a scouting/investigation plan for the dinner. My players are very tactically-minded (they love it way more than roleplay, ha) so I wanted to give them an opportunity to exercise those skills while also encouraging some roleplay.
