What program was used for the maps in Adventure Anthology 1? I realize it may not be a single program, but I liked the style. Nice and clean.

In most cases, the authors supplied their own maps. My maps are all done using MapMatic; see the Slaver's Fortress adventure in AA1 for an example.

Thanks, appreciate it. I've never heard of MapMatic, but it doesn't cost me anything to look it up.

Thanks again.

All the maps I contributed were done with Mapmatic 2(Taming the Flames, The Lost Tome, Merilla's Tower, Zombraire's Estate, and Brymasson).

I saw that it was yours Solo. Good stuff. What language did you write it in?

The back end is Python, with MySQL for data storage. The front end is Javascript, of course. It's a bit rough... I kind of stopped messing with the UI when it got good enough to use.

Are you one of those Python 2.x hold-outs? ;)

Of course. Don't you know I'm Old School?

:D

Seriously, I get nothing from Python 3.x that I ever wanted, and acquire a lot of stuff I'd rather not have.

I absolutely love Mapmatic!
