Need help with maps

[Darthtator 25]

I am looking for some sort of map making software or something similar to this: https://app.roll20.net/home/. I use it for my D&D campaign but it doesn't really work for EotE, AotR, or F&D. anyone got any good links? also free prefered i cant spend money on a pricey program. Thanks for your help

 

edit: sorry should have specified computer only. my group and I have to use computers (we're in different parts of the country)

Not too sure but about all you want is a simple paint or illustration program. Well at that price, that is all you want.

 

I beleive GIMP is the google search you want.

GIMP, Open Office, and Scribus are what I use because I don't have the cash and the desire to purchase Adobe products.  Maybe if they were more reasonably priced for a private citizen I would, but acrobat alone is silly.  PowerPDF is pretty darn good instead - it isn't free, but is reasonable.

 

As to the actual question, you may want to look at hexographer as well.  There is a free version and a inexpensive paid version, you can import a background to the map and use your own symbols.  It wont be gorgeous, but it is fairly easy and quick.

Piece of paper and a pencil. I sketch out my maps than on dry erase board reveal each section the PCs explore. Dry erase board big enough for players all to see and place their player magnet on.

As the OP plans to play on-line pencil or pen and paper isn't quite the solution you were looking for.
