Bill Stickers is innocent! It isn't Bill's fault that he was hanging out in the wrong place.

It's a script in gimp that adds coffee stains and other muck to a picture. I've never played with it, but that's an excellent idea. I'll definitely have a go with that when I get the .xcf file back!
Neat. I wonder if there is a similar filter for PS.

There is, I believe available from alienskin:
Xenofex 2 stain filter
available here: http://www.alienskin.com/xx2/index.html
Unfortunately, it is a little pricey. If you can handle it, the same effect can be made with the layer styles/effects. If you want to know how let me know. Sorry to hijack this thread.

What???? You mean there is NO MAGIC RENDER BUTTON!
You know what? I think I have that already.I'll have to double check. Unfortunately it is on my home computer so can't yet.
Regardless I would be very interested in how you achieve similar effects. Go ahead and start a new thread and teach.

Okay, so I've had a bit of a play with the floor (I got my laptop back complete with the xcf file). I used some tips from a stained parchment tutorial (linked to by Kalmarjan here) to add some random stains to the floor. I also pulled a lot of the colour out of it to make it look a little more worn. I haven't put all the set dressing into this one (that only comes when I put it into maptool - the players like to throw stuff about, so I import the furniture as separate objects). Anyway, comments on the floor stains and the new overall look will be much appreciated. Here it is:
That is a definite improvement! Well done. I still think some black soot staining around the front of the fireplaces and of course the strewn straw in the horse area would enhance it just a touch more, but overall it really has a much more lived in appearance. I think your players will be very pleased.

I really appreciate the chandelier. There's nothing like a good chandelier swing to liven up a bar brawl. Very thoughtful of you as a GM, and hopefully your players will take advantage of it....
Cheers and very nice map!
Thanks. They had better use the chandelier, after I placed it there so carefully...
On a similar theme I thought this might be a good place to ask. I'm currently doing the set dressing on the Inn and I was trying to think of entertaining things to have in a bar fight and I'm drawing a bit of a blank. So if anybody has any particular favourite items for a bar fight, please suggest them!
Okay, I have dressed the Inn and thought I'd post some pictures. The set dressing is done by placing the objects (separate .png files) on to the base map in maptools. So I've exported some screenshots of the dressed inn with both player and GM views. Changes from previous posts: The floor got a bit muddier and the hearths now have some charcoal smudges. Thanks for the grunge brush link for those. All the objects are my own creation in gimp, except for the horses which were lifted from www.rpgmapshare.com and created by a guy called steelrat - who runs the site.
Anyway, here they are:
Players' and GM's views of the ground floor:
Player's and GM's views of the first floor:
Any further C&C appreciated, though these are pretty well done now. All that is left is to add in the other patrons and have a full on bar fight!
If anyone wants to use these, feel free. I can easily create a version with all the set dressing but without the maptool shading for ease of use. Let me know if this would be helpful.
