Thank you. I knew, even before starting this tutorial, that gimp had to have a way to do this.

Better yet, save it as a template and when you open a new document, select the template name and poof, there you go.

This is the first tutorial I've read, and I love the community effort aspect of the whole thing! Thanks for your input!

Now obviously this was a light hearted tutorial harking back to a more innocent time of D&D, but the basic principles you've seen here are the same basic principles that go into making far prettier maps.

Thank you so much. For someone moving from pen and paper to computer generated maps, this tutorial was a perfect first step. Now I can move on, and eventually turn out maps that won't look out of place on Roll20 and such.
