Quote from: Old One Eye;885921Keep them in sheet protectors.  My original homebrew world map from circa 1990 has serious damage from years of use.  I had to redraw it a couple years ago.

For my part, I've seen a generation's worth of people tearing their hair out learning expensive computer programs, only to tear their hair out twice when the company goes out of business, and they're unable to unlock the program upon switching computers.  At one point, there were four separate threads regarding four separate such programs on TBP within a fortnight.

I've been using colored pencils, markers and 17x22 graph paper for 35 years now.  They work just fine, they don't get obsolete, their visual resolution is far greater than any affordable computer monitor can manage, and they last decades.

CC3 has a Roberts pack of palettes and symbols to make maps in his style.  The also have one for Pete Fenlon, aka the MERP map guy.

What happened to Wildgen? That made some very nice wilderness maps.
