Campaign Cartographer...Virus Words
Jun. 2nd, 2008 07:44 amI'm naturally prone to World Builder's Disease,* so I generally have to guard against it. However, I think I've gotten over the worst of it (I had a serious case back in college....don't ask).
I have some lovely map-making software. (Campaign Cartographer) I learned how to use V1, but have never figured out V2**. The company sent me an e-mail today, to give me a heads up warning that their newest was about to come out. No chance I'm buying it.
I haven't given my expensive map-making software a thought in a couple of years now. I just sketch little maps on spare bits of paper and tuck them away in my multitudinous files. I did have one map that I slaved over...which unfortunately disappeared when I lost my last computer's hard drive (the only file I lost).
Perhaps I should just sell the software. I don't have the patience for it anymore.
*From Plot by Ansen Dibell...this is when you spend all your time creating the setting and never get around to writing.
**Actually, it's a matter of 'not investing the time', not stupidity or poorly written software. It's actually got a great manual, and is menu driven with tutorials and all....I haven't bothered to spend the time to learn it.
I need to work on getting 'just', 'really' and 'actually' out of my vocabulary.
