Experiences with Dundjinni?

[Morrus]

I would probably give Pymapper a shot. It's free so you can see if it fits your needs. I haven't actually used it but I keep seeing the name mentioned more and more.

I just get a bunch of error messages about LoadLibraries and dlls when I try to run that.

I have links to a lot of mapping programs here. Two that you might want to check out that seem to be good for tactical battlemaps are Dungeon Demon and Dungeonographer.

Thanks - I'll take a look! Although the Dungeon Demon website doesn't exist.

Hhhmmm, I just installed and ran it with no issues on a Windows 7 machine. Did you install the pymapper_core_setup.exe and then the pymapper5.1 installer for windows?

Weird, the site was up not that long ago. I will try to contact the developer to see what happened. In the meantime, here is some info and screenshots about Dungeon Demon.

Ah, didn't know about the core setup bit. It seems to be working now, but only has four tiles. Where would I get tilesets for it?

The soon-to-be-released Mallet Combat Mapmaker looks decent, but has some major limitations.

Here is a thread about it over at rpg.net.

I used Dundjinni for several months before cutting out the maps and taping them together took too long.

I recently started using maptools. Having the projector makes this reasonable. It really is slick as I can build just a room or an entire dungeon in it. There are also some great video tutorials for it. And if you use monster tokens, etc, you can have a fog of war which is really slick at the table.

Ah, sorry - I wasn't clear. I was primarily after software I can use without the added expense of a TARDIS.

I think this Yahoo Group has tilesets. I am not 100% certain though:

dungeon_tiles : D&D Dungeon Tile Maps (WotC)

But it was mentioned in the announcement here of the new Pymapper version:
