Hi,
Sorry if this has already been asked/answered, but I'm curious what program you used to create this map, which is really nice? I love this style of map, since I'm fairly new to D&D, and the group I'm in uses Cyclopedia Basic D&D. I played with campaign cartographer a little, but it's far too complicated for a casual mapper like me, and I'd rather not put out the cash for Dundjinni if it wont do this style of map.

Thanks in advance for any replies. Smile

Hi again,
I think I found it! I love Google! Happy

Is this what you used?

Hex Mapper 1.0b

Looks very similar. This guy has some really cool programs.

Yes, that's the exact program I used.

It comes with only around 10 different terrain hexes and about 5 city icons, but you are able to create your own representations in MS Paint and import them into the program, as I did with the snow and snow covered trees hexes for example.

Also, there are 2 errors in my map. There are 2 Jalpas, and I spelled Chathold, Chathola. I was most likely tired as hell. Wink

The map took a long time to complete. Since the program has no "undo" option, any mistake is fatal and could cost you hours to replicate the work you have done since the last save.
