This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Dungeon Map Software Survey / Contest

Several people who like Hexographer have asked for something similar that helps make dungeon/building maps. So I've been starting on a new project called "Dungeonographer."

A few overview points:
-I expect it to be ready for at least alpha testing later this summer.
-It reuses some of the same code as Hexographer, so many of the features that I add to one can be added to the other.  (So it won't really take much time away from Hexographer.)  
-It will likely have the same license model as Hexographer: there will be a free version that runs on the inkwell ideas website and has 95% of the features, and there will be a pro version that can be downloaded and has a few bonus features.
-If someone has a full pro license to Hexographer, that person will get a significant discount to the pro version of Hexographer and vice versa in case later someone buys Dungeonographer then has a need for Hexographer.  (Likewise there will be a package discount for buying both at the same time.)

Right now I'm finishing the core functionality.  But I'd like to see what people might want in a dungeon mapping program in case there is something I should add as a high priority or change, so I've put together a survey. I'll randomly select one person who submits a survey response a free Dungeonographer Pro license when it is ready.  The survey will run through the end of April and I'll announce a winner in early May.
