Hey!

[shadowcitadel]

Hello everyone! Found this forum looking for a nice castle map for a DnD game i'm running and was really impressed with all the various maps that people have made! I've been experimenting with drawing some maps for our games, and well i guess i just want to learn more about drawing maps because it gives great flavor to our games!

Are there any particular programs or guides you guys would recommend for a complete noob?

I've been using Other World Mapper and it's working out pretty well and I think it would be very useful for a beginner to use the dungeon mapping tools to make a castle layout. Other people use Wonderdraft, they also seem to get decent enough results but I've never tried it. I also have a list of all the free fantasy map generator tools I could find, some of them might help you.
