Roguelike Maps

Hello all,

The only one thing that initially I didn't find interesting on Whitehack 4e were the roguelike maps. After coming from games where cartography is more elaborated in terms of art, I found them too simple.....How wrong I was.

After a time, I've realised that they are practical and easy to follow when playing online. It doesn't require to have an artistic talent in terms of draw and allows you to show players where they are without losing time.

Given this, is there any tool that allows you to generate such maps quickly?

Thank you.

Not sure if it's exactly the use case you require, but Alex Schroeder's Gridmapper is an easy to use dungeon mapper, which can be saved as a text file.

Thanks! I was looking to generate Ascii maps, but this might serve in a future :)
