08-21-05, 06:47 AM I recently started DMing for a group of friends but I have yet to find a half-decent mapping program (I would be using a paper grid, but I can't find a store that sells any, or a program to create it <_<)

I have used Fractal Mapper, but my computer keeps tinting EVERYTHING bright red ever since I got Service Pack 2

So then I went on a quest to find a good program... and failed.

So anyways, does anyone know/use a program specifically for Dungeons (to draw them, not generate them :p)

08-21-05, 08:10 AM Actually I found out because I was using the trial version , the update that would have solved everything was only for the full version. :(

But I do have the latest drivers for mostly everything on this piece of junk :D

You can also print out maps at battlemap-scale, complete with markings, which can really bring an encounter to life.

08-21-05, 03:42 PM I have used Dunjinni - it looks very nice and I like it, though I find that it works kind of....clunky.

Autorealm (http://www.gryc.ws/autorealm.htm) is a wonderful FREE map program that I find works pretty darn well. I use it a lot.

Cheers,

the other day I tried out AutoREALM and I love it :D

the only question is how can I ensure that my map will print out on the 1-inch miniature scale? I am not quite sure how to tell >_>

anyways thanks for all the help everyone, now I can start working on my new campaign ^_^
