So I'm brewing up a D&D world at home (clever phrasing, I know *rolls eyes*), and I need some kind of map-maker to put a map online. It doesn't need to be awesome or detailed. I just need a basic map that can make outlines, preferably add mountains and whatnot without them being too crappy, and otherwise have a decent resolution and a few color options for terrain/geography.

Oh, and I'd like it to be free. Downloadable is probably where that's going.

I know about Profantasy software already. Believe me, if I had the money I would use it too.

Really, if you want a map maker, the best you're going to find is the one between your ears. I don't think they have any free ones due to just how difficult it must be to make one up. I ran a campaign a while ago and simply made a colored pencil map that was very well received.

AutoREALM (http://www.gryc.ws/autorealm.htm)? Nice little mapmaker for what it costs (free). Small learning curve, and you can make some pretty nice looking maps with work.

I've done that already. What I'm looking for is a medium to put it online, as I have nothing resembling a scanner or digital camera.

Thanks for the program, I think I'll have to find some kind of tutorial thing for it or just fiddle around with it for a while, but it's mostly what I'm looking for on a smaller scale. Maybe not a world map, but definitely a map of the general area or something of the like.
