The best mapping software for my wierd priorities?

[torstan]

I absolutely agree. I'm recreating a TSR map, not drawing a realistic one. Obviously if I were to draw a good map I wouldn't have corridors of varying widths just because they were diagonal. However that diagonal corridor is exactly the style used in the early maps, so I thought it would give everyone a nostalgia hit Looks like it just brought out years of suppressed hatred of these maps

The request was for a simple map. This is simple, and if you don't want to be doing trig, in your head, the snap to grid gives you diagonal corridors that you can rule to be 10' wide (or 5' in this case actually ).

Edit: @Torq: it's okay - you can use my name. I'm not proud

years of suppressed hatred of these maps

I wouldn't call it hatred, on my part, anyway. D&D occupies a position in my heart similar to Star Trek: I love them both, but I cannot delude myself into believing they are without many serious flaws. You just have to take them for what they are ... and when you see people doing NEW stuff in the same vein, warn them against falling into the same old pits.

...(Personally, I'd use Illustrator. But it ain't free.)

There's an Illustrator clone that is freeware. It's called Inkscape.
