[QUOTE="kenada, post: 8525499, member: 70468"] I’ve used a few different programs. To be honest, I always end up falling back to [URL='https://www.profantasy.com/products/cc3.asp']Campaign Cartographer[/URL], but it’s hard as hell to learn and use. I wouldn’t recommend it unless one were really dedicated to learning and using it. For making a quick dungeon, I like [URL='https://dungeondraft.net']Dungeondraft[/URL]. It’s easy to make something quickly that doesn’t look awful. The maps can also be exported in a format that you can load into VTTs like Foundry, which makes setting up the scenes [I]much[/I] easier. For hex maps, I don’t really like any of the options. [URL='https://worldographer.com']Worldographer[/URL] is really janky on macOS, and the maps it produces are ugly. [URL='https://cone.itch.io/hex-kit']HexKit[/URL] is too limited. [URL='https://www.mapeditor.org']Tiled[/URL] is okay if you can find a nice tileset, but you need to do a lot of work to set it up (especially if you want it to randomize placement of terrain types). I don’t like [URL='https://www.wonderdraft.net']Wonderdraft[/URL] for making hex maps. It’s lacking in hex-oriented tools. [/QUOTE]
