Mapping Software for Old School RPGs

[dmadzak]

Is there some program, something similar to what comes with Etrian Odyssey to help map out old school games like Bard's Tale, the gold box games and Magic and Might?

I don't think there is one. But there is a much cheaper alternative: graph paper.

Sometimes you can find maps online.

Example

GameFAQs has maps for Might and Magic Book One.

I'd post the link but the forum won't let me.

There's plenty of mapping programs that people use for pen and paper games like D&D or whatnot. Don't know if they'd work for what you want, but here are a few I found, and most of them have a free trial.

There's likely other, even free options out there.

Edit: Found a freeware one: http://autorealm.sourceforge.net/

Edit again:

Now you've got me looking

Found this website with a TON of resources for mapping software:

In that thread there's a free online tool that's pretty basic but neat: http://www.yeoldemapmaker.com/

Thanks for the links!
