Mapping Software
Howdy, RPoL.
I find myself wanting to make up some maps, but I've recently picked up a new computer and don't have any mapping software on this one. The old (old) computer I replaced had MapTools on it, which was a pretty awesome program, but try as I might I can't figure out how to install the thing. I'm not good with computers, obviously.
Anyways, I figured this would be as good an opportunity as any to ask the community if you have a preferred program you like to use for mapping your adventures? Whether paid or free, I'm looking for opinions as much as advice here. And, as an aside, if there are a lot of MapTools users around, do you think you could help me install it?
For a frame of reference, I mostly do modern and sci-fi (post apocalypse) settings, so anything strictly geared for dungeon crawling wouldn't work for me, but I'm not picky.
And Mods, as ever, if I'm in the wrong room for this kind of thing I apologize; I honestly agonized about whether "Game Proposals, etc." might be the more appropriate place.
