[QUOTE="Graywolf-ELM, post: 1565240, member: 16236"] You might consider drawing upon the large amount of maps that are pre-made and freely given. The Art section here on Enworld has at least one thread, done by an enworlder, where he posts weekly maps of all sorts. The Wizards website has archived maps back through 2000 I believe, which you can use. Now that said. You can download a free image manipulation program from almost anywhere, if your computer does not already have one, and make notes on the map, or different colored dots for characters & encounters. One of the good ones I know if, is the Gimp, for both Mac, Unix, linux and Microsoft. Google is your friend. It would take a little work, and as far as I know, the Gimp could be used to draw your own maps later on, when you are not spending so much time trying to keep the game going in interesting directions. Usually this is not a problem, as some of the players are quite skilled at prose and character interaction. I've seen some games carried by the players, with nary a post from the GM for weeks.
