Thread: Battle Maps

    Battle Maps

    Hey all:

    Up until now I've been playing with 4E published material, and have been able to utilize the battle maps from the quests. At this point I am looking to do something on my own, but I could use advise on what the best tools there are out there for making battlemaps. Wizards had a handy dungeon tile program, but it is woefully out of date. Any other relatively simple options?

    An up to date version of the tile mapper can be found by joining the Yahoo Group:

    There is a program called Master Plan that is wonderful and it has a map builder inside beside all the other stuff (Encounters,monsters,player characters and so on and so on...)
    Religion is an insult to human dignity.
    With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things.
    But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion...

    Wow. Just discovered this very useful application. I have only played with it for 5 minutes and have already fallen in love with the auto tactical map feature. Simply brilliant.

    I can see me using this in conjunction with FGII to help build prep material for city encounters etc.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    Can we get a link to this? Searching for master plan comes up with a lot of stuff that has little to do with making maps.

    Did you build your own libraries or download them, your post before last indicated there were addon's to download.

    Aside from the sample libraries and compendium, I can't find a reference or link to any other addon?
