I popped in here looking for help with "the dreaded white page" when trying to write a scenario; I figured if I could do a map, then I could work off that (something I've done in the past).

I'm exceptionally impressed with the GIMP tutorial for doing maps - having a negative artistic skill (people around me lose the ability to draw), and spent ages messing around (and failing) with AutoREALM. The tutorial has allowed me to come up with a passible map within a couple of hours...
