rpgmapshare and dunjinni user forums are the two biggies that I know of, there is another one but I can't remember it.
Looking for a good (free!) resource for images and the like that can be used for interior design. Taverns, castles, that sort of thing. Top-down would be splendid. I've browsed the forums a bit but what I've found is spotty and a bit scattered...
So once and for all: Best top-down interior furnishings resource? I appreciate it!

If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

You'll find an almost endless supply on the Dundjinni forums, but you'll have to do a theme search to find them:

Everyone needs the CSUAC collection from Cecil Solomon in one of its three versions. You can get it at Gamemaster's Apprentice, but you have to do a free registration first:
http://www.gmsapprentice.com/
Jeff Albers' RPG Map Share site also is invaluable:
http://www.rpgmapshare.com
And you also will want to go to Greg Tayllor's Greytale's Nook:

If you need buildings top-down from the outdoor view, you'll find around 1,000 of them, based upon medieval European historical structures, under the Cartographic Collection at our site:
http://www.vintyri.com
Downloads from all of these sites are free.

Dumb question here....I've been trying to log into the gmsapprentice all week (register actually), and every time I hit the register button, absolutely NOTHING happens....I've tried it in IE, Opera, even Netscape, and I'll be darned if I can figure out what the hang-up is. Does anyone have an email address for the webmaster, and/or any ideas as to why I can't seem to register?
Cheers,
Colin
You have to be careful what you use as a username on GM's Apprentice, don't use any spaces, underscores or other non-alpha-numeric characters. I had a similar problem when I initially signed up.

Thanks for the heads-up about the username issue; that did the trick (of course, my original username did only had alphanumeric characters, but I just took the numbers out and went with straight letters, and for some goofy reason that worked).
Cheers,
Colin
