Dungeons and Dragons freeware cartography

Ever since the accursed 3rd edition of Dungeons and Dragons was unleashed, us poor gamers have been forced to battle using -besides our amazing and frankly adolescent imagination- miniatures and grids. Our even poorer DMs have been forced to actually prepare said grids, while also facing the constant challenge of mapping a variety of mostly fantasy-themed locations. Well, fellow DnDers, rejoice! TogaMario.com released an extremely easy to use, but also smart and versatile, DnD mapper that's available for free: FreeCountry. Download it.

    Thanks for the props :) It's in it's infant stages, but I promise, it'll be much better when I get some more time to knock out major workflow flaws (and add some more free art to it).

    Well, thanks for the brilliant program Tyler, and please do let me know whenever a new version is available.

    Oh, and nice to meet you (well, in a way)

    Cheers!

    :P nice

    Any suggestions for the next release? I'm toying with the notion of putting the next release off until I can get drag/drop and proper tile previewing going, but then, who knows how long might take me? By the way, if you haven't noticed, I'm not a professional programmer, lol, but a very a determined DnD nerd.

    Actually, I hadn't noticed really...

    :)

    As for suggestions, well, uhm, more props would be fine and some sort of labeling tool... Oh, and perhaps having some square-tiles of land/dirt/ rocks...

    BTW, nice of you to ask. Here's your tea...

    Oh, me likes the labeling tool idea! (/me marks his scrap paper with more "design notes"). Thanks :D

    I'm working on an auto-fill tool that will fill paint the whole map a specific tile, so the square terrain blocks will be coming shortly. Thanks again!

    Updated the download link for FreeCountry with the fill tool (under the Edit menu set). Also added a few simple terrain blocks and dungeon tiles. Let me know how it works and suggestions / contributions welcome :D
