Description

Collinwood Manor, ancestral home of Barnabas Collins, everyone's favorite vampire from late 60's daytime TV. Playing D&D (Zoom & Roll20) on Halloween night under a full moon requires a haunted mansion for the game, but the party was in the middle of an ordinary dungeon crawl that would not fit well into that Halloween trope.

But inspiration struck last night. Barnabas has once again been trapped by his witch nemesis Angelique, but this time he was prepared and using a magic item he has summoned the adventurers thru time and space to 1840's Maine were they must find his sarcophagus and release him so they can return to their home world.

I created this map of Collinwood manor for a Halloween contest at Cartographer's Guild 4 years ago and have never had a chance to use it until now. All I had to do was populate it with classic creature feature monsters like the Headless Horseman, Zombies, Skeletons, Mummies, Werewolves, PumpkinHead, Spectres, Witches, and of course a Vampire. We only had time to explore part of the first floor so we will pick up where we stopped playing next session.

The exterior of Collinwood Manor from the original show is one of the mansions in Newport, R.I. It is currently an admin building for a small college in Newport. The interior is based on both the original floorplan, some things from the show, and a little creative license.
