  A really awesome product for mapping old RPGs. I have been playing games with the Game Link feature and it really is a great way to experience older games.

  The tools are great, but IMO it's a bit too expensive for map designing purpose.

  Grid Cartographer is an excellent piece of software for anyone wanting to quickly make maps for games or tabletop. As someone who is experimenting with making a first person dungeon crawl, GC has been instrumental in prototyping a map to export into the engine. The ability to walk around the map with an avatar during building makes this process really quite easy to visualize, too. Unfortunately I cannot speak towards the Game Link functionality, as my primary use for the tool has been geared towards cartography of my own rather than mapping out games. Also, if this information is useful to anyone, I [i]have[/i] gotten Grid Cartographer 2022.5 to work on a Linux machine via Proton. The initial setup took a little bit (before installing you set the Proton version you want to use in the game's Properties panel) but it seems to run flawlessly for my purposes (as a map editor) even on a custom firmware Chromebook with 4GB RAM... though do expect the combined installation to take a chunk of disk space specifically for Proton.

  Not for casual usage. No tutorial. Was told to "explore the software" when needing help.

  Great for assisting in the mapping of old CRPGs such as Wizardry and Might and Magic as well as making tabletop RPG maps. There's even features to assist game developers, which I haven't dove into. This is the most comprehensive and easy-to-use grid map-making program that I've found. The price may seem steep, but specialized as it is, it's very much worthwhile. If you've been using Photoshop or something other non-specialized tool to create your maps, you may find this product to be a boon to your workflow.

  A great little map maker for all you TTRPG nerds out there. A bit pricey when not on sale, but GC4 apparently goes on sale during each summer and winter sale.

  If you like to map but are tired of your paper maps reaching the edge of the page, I would recommend that you get this program.

  It does well what is says it will do and a little bit more. What more can you ask for? The portability, the customization, the ease of use? All there. It's a great tool for what it is, and even for what it's not.
