[QUOTE="Woas, post: 1944081, member: 16317"] I voted Free-hand. I've drawn 100% overland/world/terrain maps myself. Even cities. Floor plans for dungeons or buildings and sometimes cities I'll do on the computer (see point B). The reason for this is because: A) I do not have a campaign website where I post digital images of the campaign world on for my players to refrence. Even if I did have one, it would not help since I do not game with a computer or laptop and thus it would be absurd to stop everthing, run over to the computer and load up a map everytime the players need to refence it. Having an actual, physical map is 1000 times more helpful. B) I like big maps. 8x11 is too small! ;) I draw my maps on very large poster board size or larger pieces of paper and poster board. Cities and floorplans don't need to be so big, so I will do them on the computer and print them out 8x11. Otherwise everything is free hand. [/QUOTE]
