Map making

[Cheomesh]

I suck at drawing out maps that make sense to people, and I need a method of digitizing it so I can easily distribute my work without having to go buy a scanner.  What do you guys use?

A better place to check out would be The Cartographers Guild. There a site dedicated to map making. I know some people around here are good at making maps (Nomadic comes to mind).so perhaps they can help you out as well.

GIMP is a free editor that is good for making digital maps. That's all I know.

Found something called Campaign Cartographer, giving that a try.

Draw one in MSPaint. It won't look amazing but it will look nice and convey what you need to.

Good point, however it will be insanely ugly :p

Well if you were a good boy this year santa might bring you a late present (aka - draw me a sketch and we'll go from there; I love making maps). :P

and he's being modest, his maps look great.

I posted up a crude one in the Homebrew section.

i went looking but the post doesn't have a pic :(

[Cheomesh]

It doesn't want to display it for some reason, so I posted a URL to it.

I could make a touched-up version of the map if you want (or did you already say you would, Nomadic?).
Littl quick explanation oof what the different colours of dots refer too would help.

I'd offer my services but local mapping isn't my strong suit :(

[Cheomesh]

Captain, the key is a post or two above the map.

@captain - I was offering my services if he wants but it is up to him who he wants to help out with the map (I can give some example maps if he wants to see my work).

[Cheomesh]

Well, I might add some features to it, but if you would like to take a stab at it, go ahead.
