Mapping program

[tecnowraith]

Are there any good mapping programs out there? Looking to map out a small town, inside buildings and dungeons for any genre be it fantasy, modern and scifi.

Campaign Cartagropher, Dundjinni, ... there are plenty of those out there.

I mean which one is better or which ones does everyone here use?

 

[Edheldur]

I use Campaign Cartographer for overland maps, and Dundjinni for combat-scale maps. I've also used AutoREALM for overland maps in the past.

I use a mix of Dundjinni and Photoshop for all maps and all genres.

 

[Thanee]

I think for your specific needs (small, tactical maps) Dundjinni should be good.

This might not be exactly what you're looking for, but Wizards of the Coast is currently beta testing their "official" online random dungeon mapper.

I use autorealm (free) and Paint Shop Pro for my maps

ABOLETH
Space/Reach: 15 ft./10 ft.

The aboleth is a revolting fishlike amphibian found primarily in subterranean lakes and rivers. An aboleth has a pink belly. Four pulsating blueblack orifices line the bottom of its body and secrete gray slime that smells like rancid grease. It uses its tail for propulsion in the water and drags itself along with its tentacles on land. An aboleth weighs about 6,500 pounds.
