    I thought it had some great advice for making city maps.
    I read his article, and very good. The only thing I had in complaint of his article was the down-thinking he had on CC2/Profantasy. With a stock CC2 program, no add-ons or anythng else, I could make an exact replica of his Greyhawk Map. But, that's me

    It also seems he has not looked beyond a base CC2 program or any of their suites of software (Dungeon Designer, City Designer, etc)., but critiques of CC2 aside, it had a lot of useful information as well as I agree, most of the city maps from The Fate of Istus mode publish by TSR are abyssmal! YUCK!

    To me, it would be critique the user not the software in CC2's case, but I agree, programs like Autorealms is very limited, and personal thought on Dunjinni is the maps look nice....too nice for an adventure key, but great for miniature gaming etc.

    Never use a big word when a diminutive one will suffice!

    Any questions on CC3? Post them with CC3 in the Subject Line!

    My thoughts exactly, NeonKnight. But I agree, if you look past the CC2 bashing, there is a lot of useful info in there.
