Cool site, thanks for posting. Why does he date his posts, 2028?
Restoring the Lost Sense – December 29, 2028

My posts go into the future … pre-blogged, not officially “live” but accessible in their past (our present) to those with the links. Not sure if that makes sense, but that’s what’s happening and the reason for future timestamps.

Let us hope that December 2028 is a more positive time for humanity.
Say “hi” to John Titor for me.

It really pisses me off when physicists go on and on about alternate dimensions and universes, but never tell us how to get there!

I’m trying to find map-making software.

https://www.reddit.com/r/rpg/comments/1imrc4y/alternatives_to_hex_kit_and_worldographer_easier/?
I used to draw maps in LibreOffice.
I am looking for an easier alternative. I have coordination problems which made it hard to align everything in LibreOffice, and I have chronic migraines which make it important to avoid animation.
I have Hex Kit, but it’s not working out. I may be missing something, but I’m having a lot of trouble using it, at every point. If I try to scroll, it zooms. If I carefully pick one hex to edit, it edits the next one over. If I slip, it zooms. I am sensitive to animation, and the zooming has left me with a migraine and severe nausea.
I only have the demo for Worldographer, but I don’t know if it would work out either. It has an option to stop the accursed zooming, but it has a lot of other animation.
I also looked at Hex Friend, and it had even more animation.
I haven’t tried Campaign Cartographer, but it’s only available for Windows.
Can anyone suggest other options that might work better?
What I’m looking for:
- An easy way to draw maps.
- I need to be able to avoid animation.
- I need to share and may want to republish some maps, for both roleplaying and wargaming. I already bought some free-to-reuse tilesets.
- I need to be able to include coastlines, which won’t always line up with the edges and corners of the hexes. As well as clearly-drawn roads and/or railroads, cities of varying sizes, etc.
- I also need to be able to include hex-side features if I want.
- I need this to run on Linux.
If there’s a way to block the animation in Hex Kit and/or in Worldographer, and if there’s a set of coastal tiles that sometimes line up with the middles of the hexsides, that would help.

Unfortunately, all of those websites have animation. Inkarnate is supposed to have a hex mapping option, but I can’t try it, because of the cookie animation.
