Map Packs for Maptool!

[dorpond]

Hail to you, master map makers!

I would like to take this opportunity to let you all know that Maptool now has the ability to offer art packs as a download option within Maptool itself. This is a new feature as of 1.3b60. At present moment, we have been blessed by art packs made by Torstan. His work is breathtaking! I also made a very generic pack so that a GM could make a quick town or outdoor map.

If any of you are interested in sharing some of your work with the Maptool user base, we can add you to the list of art/map packs available for download.

Here is a video showing how the process works in Maptool:

One word of note though: Maptool is a free product. We do what we do so gamers can game for the love of the game. I know many of you do what you do because you have a passion and love for mapping. With all that said, whatever maps you wish to share, have to be free.

But you would get recognition! Your name would appear on a list of available downloads. Thousands of users would be using your stuff! This can be used as a tool to spread your name; it can also be a tool used to advertise your website. If you make professional art for sale, you can use this as an opportunity to give people a glimpse of what you got and point them to your website for future purchases!

If you are interested, there are a few rules:
1. The art pack must be 100% original (legal). Please do not snag stuff from the web, stretch it, change its color, and call it your own. We don't want people hunting us down!
2. You must create a license text file that will display at the time of download. A simple txt file stating that you own it and it is under some sort of common license or whatever. Basically giving permission for use. Feel free to use this for advertising your website too.
3. The art pack must be free. At current time, we have no way of copy protecting any art packs.

If you want to offer a Map Pack, I would probably suggest no less than 3 maps in the pack, but please, the more the better! (I think Torstan's dungeon making art pack has somewhere near 300 individual map-making pieces - you go Torstan!)

If any of you are interested, please contact me for more details. You can just PM me here or at RPtools.net or reach me at dorpond [at| g m ail |dot} com

Thanks you,
Dorpond
