[QUOTE="dzeeman, post: 1889416, member: 26387"] I work for the CHMP, the group that's putting together an online atlas of the world of Harn, created by N. Robin Crossby. We've developed a free add-on to CC2 called the "Mappa Harnica Tool Kit" Go here to check it out. [url]http://www.thechmp.com/[/url]. I like CC2; I like the Mappa Harnica Tool Kit additions better because they emulate the beautiful hand-drawn style of N. Robin Crossby (originally ink and watercolor). I also enjoy making maps with Map Maker Plus, from the superb font guys at the Scriptorium [url]http://www.fontcraft.com/mapmaker/[/url]. The package emulates the Ortelius (15th & 16th century) Style of mapmaking. However, you need a base program like Adope Photoshop, and patience to learn how to use it and the special fonts from the package. The maps look spectacular! As a DM I've found that no matter how cool your map is, basically the players will look at it, compliment you on it, and then put it down so that they can kill things. ;) Unless you really like making maps for fun and/or profit, I wouldn't bother investing in any map making program. Good ol' graph paper (or hex paper) works just fine, is cheaper, and much quicker. [/QUOTE]
