Those of you who design your own world/region maps; what software do you like using best?

Paper.

I usually just use paper, but I'd prefer having a map on my computer, especially if I can add notes to it. All the good software I've found seems to cost a lot of money.

>>43842891
Paint.

Also my cat is freaking out thanks to that picture.

>>43842988
Really? What did your cat do?

>>43842891
Inkarnate.
Not as flexible or powerful as photoshop and the likes, but much, MUCH easier to use. Orders of magnitude earlier.

Hexographer, i gm gurps and i like hex because its easy to calculare area and distance of shit.

>>43842891
In all honesty I use dwarf fortress, makes semi realistic world map, history, civilizations, plus you can exported so you can print it, and tweak variables to suit your needs.

>>43842897
yup, I also use paper

I prefer to run in-person games because I don't like the amount of labor that goes into creating digital maps for roll20 or whatever.

They're great tools and all, but I like my large wet-erase battlemat where I can quickly draw things out, use dice or other objects to indicate "stuff" (like throw a handful of dice over the table to decide where there is tree cover), and occasionally make basic 3d paper models for some things. Once in a very rare while, such as for the climax of a campaign, I might put a lot of work into some 3d terrain. I like to rely on description/pictures/music, and use the battlemat as little as possible.

I know that rambled a bit off of the topic but it seemed relevant.

Hexographer, Dungeonographer, and AutoRealm.
