Apr 01, 2011 19:20:15 Does anyone know of a good map and dungeon generator that I can draw/design my own tiles for? I would like to create randomized maps and dungeons but make them completely my own visually. I know about skeletonkey games, but I prefer free since I am not being paid to DM games. I would be satisfied for just going into the program folder and replacing the programs default images... I just don't know what is out there since I am REALLY new to this. Thank you!

Apr 03, 2011 2:32:34 the wizards website has a dungeon tile generator on here if u cant find it by navigating through the website. just type into google "dungeon tiles wizards" and it SHOULD take u to it. u can even print out the final dungeon that u have made

Apr 03, 2011 20:27:31 I don't know about randomized maps, but Maptool (even though its designed as a VTT) works pretty well for general mapping as well. Masterplan has a tile mapper built into it. I also use Fractal Mapper from nbos for a lot of my more complicated or larger maps but that one is not free (Maptool and Masterplan are both free).

Apr 09, 2011 21:01:23 I have actually used my sets of Dungeon Tiles on a kitchen table to lay out a dungeon. This has the added benefit of me actually SEEING how sprawling something can get - after two surprises of having not enough room for a dungeon-like city, I found it necessary to actually work with that. After that, I had considered taking a picture of it but alas . . . no digital camera, and much much less ability to make certain I got it from an angle I could recreate from. So I got some graph paper and would jot down the tile shapes.

As for an overland map, I have actually not solidified one and thus my travel distances are MOST POSSIBLY completely skewed! Luckily, nobody has complained yet or noticed strange discrepancies.

I apologize for not having a program to point you to but I cut my DMing teeth on 2nd edition . . . I still have the hex map paper somewhere.

Apr 11, 2011 18:42:39 I found the Wizard browser program mentioned above. Two questions if anyone can answer:

1). Anyone have additional tile sets for the app?
2). How do you override the tile counter? I'd like to use this program to design dungeons, but the tile counter greys out once you reach the boxed set limit of pieces.
