Anyone use Campaign Cartographer 3+? I looked at it and it seems to be an investment. I wanted to map Terra Syn, my new game and novel world (it will use the Elemental Companion). Is it worth the investment? Or should I try another mapper software?
I have used it from time to time and enjoyed the experience, but it is like a decade since I roleplayed enough to devote time to do maps so I have not had it installed on my computer for quite some time. Thus I cannot tell if there are problems running the software on modern operating systems or if it still works well as it used to do.
The major downside of the software is obviously the price so you need to make quite a few maps for it to be worthwhile. If add extra packs the likelihood that you use the software increases, but the price becomes even higher. For instance, I never actually needed to make castle maps from scratch but from add-on:s I got a number of sample castles that with minor modifications could be used directly as adventure locations.
If you are just after quick and dirty maps, stuff like https://watabou.itch.io/medieval-fantasy-city-generator for cites and similar services can take you quite far.
