Hey everyone,

I'm working on setting up a new campaign and I was wondering if anyone knew of any free or cheap software for making maps. I'm looking to use it for the large scale stuff, towns and forest, then just for the small battle areas.

Thanks.

World Maps: http://www.gimp.org/
For a quick-and-dirty one, go: Render Clouds -> Posterize -> Tweak the levels until you find one you like -> Done.

Battle Maps: http://www.inkscape.org/
Use the Grid tool for, well, for the grid. Then just add the walls, doors and details.

Using its world-generation device, then generating a high-res map of the area generated from Legends mode. Good stuff.
