Welcome to RPGMapShare.com, a place to share maps and mapping objects for any type of Role-Playing Game. The maps and objects are intended for use mainly with any of the various Virtual Tabletop applications, such as Battlegrounds or Maptool, but as long as you have a computer and a way to display images, you can use them for your games. We're about sharing here, so uploading of your own maps and objects is encouraged. Please follow the directions when uploading, especially regarding usage restrictions, and we'll all be happy. We'd also like to see you in the Forums, so stop by and say hi, tell us what types of games you play, how you use the images you've obtained here, etc. Enjoy!

The Best Kept Secret in Map Making

Submitted by gamerprinter on Tue, 05/22/2007 - 3:49pm.

I have just written the first draft of my new free Ebook - The Best Kept Secret in Map Making

The main focus of the book is to offer a tutorial guide for creating custom RPG maps, not using any of the traditional "RPG Map Making" packages. In fact nobody is currently using this application to create maps other than myself. The software developer does not realize the map-making potential of their own software.

Its really a vector drawing application, page-layout, with powerful image capabilities and effects. However its power, speed and ease of use blows CC3, Dundjinni, Dungeoncrafter and every other package out of the water.

What is this software? I will reveal it in my Ebook, not until then. Tongue out

Just know that, yes its more expensive than Dundjinni for example - in fact twice as much, but its 100 times what Dundjinni could ever think to be.

Final publication date is scheduled for next Monday (5/28/07) - although I won't be the only one promoting this free Ebook, you'll find a link on my homepage.

My free monthly newsletter, Gamer Resource (you can signup on my homepage) will be including a free Map-Making tutorial with every issue, free downloadable fonts, downloadable PDF battlemap, and a free map object. As well as introductions for low cost "Map Object" sets.

although he was probably referring to an older version when he posted here.
