    Default Another newbie!

    Cheers and Merry Christmas!

    I am a part-time wargamer/roleplayer in search of a nice cartography tool to flesh my own sci-fi universe. What are the favourite tools around here?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi GK (may I call you that?)

    There are plenty of different tools from a simple pencil and paper to mapping programs like Campaign Cartographer. There is a community of CC users here.

    Many people use Photoshop/GIMP and a whole load of other programs. There are many tutorials in the tutorials section on how to do various things. Check those out and see how you get on.

    Are you looking for a Cartography Program or an Illustrator?
    There is a Difference..

    Myself I use Campaign Cartographer 3 and Campaign Cartographer3+
    Just now learning Gimp for basic functions, I can't draw a straight line with it yet.

    If your want to draw your own elements, your gonna want to learn an Illustration program.
