[QUOTE="vandaexpress, post: 6781477, member: 6790472"] Roll20 has a pretty robust interface for making maps, especially if you know how to use a graphics editor alongside it. Additionally, they have a good marketplace for buying premium assets if you can't find free stuff using their built-in search. Not sure how easy it would be to print off something you made in there though. Nowadays, I use Photoshop. That said, mostly what I wind up doing is taking existing maps that I either find online or purchase and then import them into Photoshop and do lots of manipulation to combine and customize them to fit my specific needs. Over time, I've built up a nice library of graphics that I commonly use which helps to speed things up. It's definitely a thing where it starts out incredibly time consuming but gets faster over time as you acquire assets and expertise. That said, full disclaimer, I've been using photoshop for a while, so if you've never used it, it might be a bit overwhelming. Nevertheless, most of the stuff I do for map-making is fairly basic and easy to learn. [/QUOTE]
