Curse of Strahd Will Have A Map Pullout Poster

One of my favorite things about my old Raveloft boxset is the maps.

Excellent news! Obviously they heard the complaints about SCAG (although in my opinion the included map was fine, although a pull out would have been better; others were not so... forgiving in their opinions) and decided to give it a try here. Hopefully this will become standard in future adventure and setting products - a double-sided poster map of the locations in OotA (say one side with the overall region and the other with the individual major locations) would have made my job much easier than having to page back and forth in the book, for example...

Newschooler here: What does "pullout" mean?

It will be a map that will come folded inside the book and have some way of pulling it out - it will either be connected to the actual book with some sort of adhesive you can peel off, or with a perforated tab that you can (carefully!) pull the poster map free from.

Ah, cool. I hope they do more stuff like this. Anyone on the internet can publish text and images. WotC should take advantage of the fact that they're selling you a physical product.

Return of the proper map. Finally. The awkward over the fold map in SCAG was beautiful. It festive a map pack in.

Well, it's kinda like when the pages of your PHB come loose.
But in this case it's intentionally designed to do that. So a feature, not a flaw.

Actually by the time the SCAG complaints happened it would have been to late to change this book to include a map, I think.

Hiya!

I'll continue to use my original Ravenloft box set(s) and stuff. I just hope that Curse of Strahd is about an evil blood-sucking killer monster-tyrant who terrifies and murders his own people. Strahd is a vampre...he ties you up and makes you watch as he slowly sucks the blood out of your loved one. I don't want a "poor, misunderstood soul who it being unjustly punished for all eternity because he made a single mistake out of love!"...none of that BS! Oh, and is the pic posted supposed to be Strahd? Or some wannabe model for a "dark supernatural Harlequine Romance" novel? If so, why not go all the way and just slap a picture of a bare-chested Fabio wearing a cloak and be done with it.

It's your game, man. I'm not sure I will modify the campaign in that direction myself, though...

Just want to make sure where on the same page. I was making fun of the modern sexy vampire craze that kicked off a few years ago.

Thank you for making me realize I should add a smiley to my post
