TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

I'm still using Graph Paper 1.0, but I'll check it out.

The "fractal polyline" tool creates fractally crooked lines. Perfect for drawing rivers, coastlines, roads, etc. It doesn't lose any detail when you zoom in. It's just as crooked and nuanced at any scale of magnification.

You can use different line styles to create that coastline effect.

The stamps are all vector art, so they don't lose detail when you zoom in either.

You can set things to different layers, and hide them as necessary. So you can print a map with and without the DM notes. Or toggle between geographical and political views.

And if I recall correctly, it's an open source project!


I only have one small gripe with it... I tried to print maps with 1' grids for miniature play, and I found it's pretty tough to print at a specific scale. It kind of guesses how large it should be, and you often get a grid that's just a little small, or doesn't line up with the terrain as you envisioned...



but overall, very useful program.
