[QUOTE="Vraille Darkfang, post: 3271391, member: 16989"] Actually, Can I even Share it? WotC has a Free Java-Explorer Utility that allows you to play aroud with the Dungeon Tiles. A primative Mapper if you will. (It's what inspired me to buy 2 of each set). After using it for a few days, I became way too frustrated. The "Save" feature was insane (Saving a huge text string to an extrenal file). The lack of a zoom was going to kill my eyes. This wasn't going to work. So I decided to build a better one. I used OpenOffice's Calc (A freeware version of Excel-Better for Copy/Paste intensive jobs). I used the Image files from the Mapping Utility (Saved me the hassle of scanning it in myself). In Short: I have a Copy of each Tile, labeled so you know its companion side. These are sized to fit a grid. This is the "Base" Page. You then Copy-Worksheet to a new Worksheet. You can then move & arrange the tiles as you see fit. As it's in a Spreadsheet, you can Zoom, Make Notes, Highlight other cells various colors, etc. After working with it just a few minutes, I designed the next dungeon my players will be going through AND I was able to make notations as needed. I've tried to include a Screenshot that shows the "Base" Set you pick from as well as a Finished Dungeon. Is this OK to distribute, or do I have to send it to Wizards for approval/distribution? Should I send it to Wizard's anyway & see if they want to host it? Thanks, [IMG]DT Mapper.jpeg [/IMG] [/QUOTE]
