There are some good guide's knocking about for using a scanned image of an old paper map as a guide layer in various art packages. I'll try and find it.

Yep, that's what I ended up doing.

If you want good free vector and bitmap graphics suites, try Inkscape and GIMP.

Another free alternative art program is Paint.NET - I really don't like GIMP's interface.

If you have any skill with photoshop or similar program I would check this site out: Zombie Nirvana Games
I also have fractal mapper 7. What I like to do is get the water and continents down and take a screen shot and edit it in photoshop to make it more realistic looking by blurring the water lines and stuff.FG2 Ultimate License

Tried this one out last night, and it was a blast. We now have a very detailed world with several races and a political structure with GAMING TIME as the cause instead of a lot of hard GM-work.
