Dread Maps - Blackbriar Manor

Blackbriar Manor is a sinister, atmospheric TTRPG battlemap that brings to life the eerie remains of a once-grand estate, now crumbling and overrun with decay. The mansion is steeped in a bloody history, haunted by the gruesome murders that took place within its walls. Every creaking floorboard and shattered window adds to the oppressive gloom, with moonlight barely piercing the shadowy, labyrinthine interior.

Players are hired by a paranormal investigator—or a curious alchemist—seeking to uncover the manor’s dark secrets. Their mission: protect their employer from aggressive squatters and unseen dangers. As the party explores the decaying rooms, they’ll encounter hidden passageways, ghostly apparitions, and remnants of the house’s violent past. With threats lurking at every turn, Blackbriar Manor’s deadly history is ever-present, casting a chilling pall over every step.
