Hi, im new to DM'ing/World-building, and i was wondering are there any "good" tools to use for creating maps and the like?
[spoiler=CLICK MEEEEE] My setting(s):
[spoiler=Quotes]Why are my epic characters more powerful than the archfiends from the Book of Vile Darkness, the archangels from the Book of Exalted Deeds, and the Elder Evils from Champions of Ruin?

If you're playing epic, pause for a moment to laugh at WotC's farcical cosmic entity stats and move on. They aren't there to be taken seriously. Trust me. They aren't even suitable for use as avatars. -WotC Epic Boards, Epic FAQ

Nobody can tell... hell we can't even tell if he actually exists -Nomadic, talking about me.

A lot of links for you to use, not just for mapping. If that's all that you want, though, there's a section just for that. I've used AutoRealm for a while and it's nice (And free)
