    Map First post - 2 maps

    Hi all!

    I am a long time map maker, and I have been to this site on occasion looking for maps to play with in photoshop. I do a lot of copy and paste photoshop work on existing maps mostly but I do create some original material.

    I use maptool to run my Dark Sun campaigns and I found an interesting use for Google's free Sketchup modeler. I realized that I could use sketchup to make battle maps of course but also backdrops for non combat scenes in my campaign. Its probably easier to show you so here goes:

    Combat map high res http://www.wiijii.com/vizier50/DnD%2...20test%202.jpg

    So what do I use the backdrops for you ask? Well I set up tokens in Maptool I call "vendor tokens" that if the players hover over a brief list of what they have for sale appears next to their portrait. Again its probably easier to see what im talking about so here is an example to give you guys ideas:
