Things may have changed drastically since then, but it was easy to pick up (a few hours and I was off to the races) and fairly powerful even in that limited state. I would say that if they still offer free trials (they used to offer free downloads that were somewhat limited, particularly in the ability to save the map), then you've got nothing to lose in trying it. Today, I don't know, since my experience flatlines there. The interface used to be similar to AutoCAD and variants, if you're familiar with that layout. Today's versions are bound to be better and probably easier to pick up. Of course, Campaign Cartographer probably had much more limited symbols and tiles, but even so I was able to create some great maps over the years. It made maps akin to Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms at the time, and I found it fairly easy to use. I first used their software with Campaign Cartographer, part of AD&D Core Rules 2.0 in 1998. My post got lost so here's the short short version. I haven't had much luck finding information elsewhere, it's almost like this company suddenly popped into existence. Things like "well, you really need the $200s of expansion packs to make it worth your while" and "it took me 40 hours to learn it." are the types of things I want to hear about. If anybody has any experience with it, I'd like to hear about it. I'm always a little hesitant with things like this, however. I read over the EULA, and it sounds like they're pretty open to you using maps in commercial content or handing them (your own maps) out for free, which leaves me open to eventual pdf distribution, if I desire. The basic software is only about $50, which certainly beats the time of drawing it by hand. I watched some of the tutorials, and I think I could learn it fairly quickly.
I was thinking about using the Pro Fantasy software to make a world map for my fantasy setting. Ron, I'm not sure where this is supposed to go, so feel free to move it to. This simple, Excel-based, tool will generate a random 8 x 11 hex map ideal for sci-fi worlds such as Warhammer 40k.Has anybody used the pro fantasy map making software? Map generation doesn’t need to be complex.
