I expect that I will be giving GIMP a try as part of the decision making process. One thing I will say...even though the hex map I made in Hexographer isn't as artistically appealing, I still own my original Greyhawk...poster sized hex maps of Oerth and I love those things....lot's of hour sending PC galloping across the Flaeness. Anyway...I'm thinking that I will still make use of hex maps for the campaign...but I'd like to have ....uh..."gimp pimped" out versions of the maps for style, flavor and artistic value.

BTW...what exactly does a "GIMP pimp" wear?
