Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS.

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.

Dungeonographer Map Software Updated; Beta Almost Complete

Last night I posted the updated version of Dungeonographer, my indoor (for dungeons, caves, buildings, etc.) map software project.

Before I go any further, I've seen some confusion about one of my favorite features: The tool allows you to toggle the map view between a simplistic line art map (suitable for the DM to print on a single sheet of regular paper) and a semi-realistic 1″ battlemat ready view. This can be printed to automatically span the entire map over multiple pages of paper as needed or you can select specific areas and it will span pages as needed or keep the map to one page if the area is small enough.  This feature is in both the pro and free versions. Look for the radio buttons beneath the map as you are editing it.


What's New
  • There are a bunch of new graphics for futuristic/modern/science fiction objects such as a spaceship, air-car, console, desk, etc.
  • There are a couple of new graphics for any setting: a traditional desk and a rug.  (Of course, the user can add other graphics.)
  • There are several new line/wall styles for wood walls and metal walls in addition to the prior stone walls.
  • There are a few new floor tile types for metal floors.
  • The UI has been tweaked slightly.  Most of the changes are behind the scenes to streamline the code.

What's Next
  • Address any bugs found.
  • Allow the tool to shift the colors to the classic blue that was used for the maps on the inside covers of classic modules.

Give it a try and let me know what you think!

That's totally awesome. If I were a dungeon-crawl kind of guy I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
