Curse of Strahd - Death House Expanded

Virtual Tabletop Journey presents the iconic Curse of Strahd - Death House Expanded Edition, recreated for use in TaleSpire! This version is vastly larger, allowing additional opportunities and freedom of gameplay in 3D space.

Choose from four full-board imports: Game Ready or Full Artistic, each with hide volumes Hidden or Revealed. Open the TalesTavern listing below to get any of these variants.

Map Variants

The TalesTavern listing provides all four complete Expanded boards:

  • Game Ready - Hide Volumes Hidden: the default board supplied by the TalesTavern entry.
  • Game Ready - Hide Volumes Revealed: the alternate Game Ready board with hide volumes revealed.
  • Full Artistic - Hide Volumes Hidden: the artistic board with hide volumes hidden.
  • Full Artistic - Hide Volumes Revealed: the artistic board with hide volumes revealed.

This is a separate map from Death House Original. The gallery includes first-floor and exterior comparisons so you can see the difference in scale.

The Book Includes

Visit the product page at DMsGuild to Pay What You Want for a full PDF containing alternate room descriptions, assembly instructions and other board information.

The book enhances the original Curse of Strahd module, which you must obtain separately. If you are just starting your campaign, I also recommend A Guide to the Curse of Strahd.

  • 30 of 38 rooms have revised descriptions, including completely new spaces such as the fancy bathroom and attic entrance hall.
  • Full-color orthographic reference maps for room identification.
  • Details about the challenges of converting 2D maps to 3D.
  • Instructions for using hide volumes and smoothly transitioning players through the map.
