1.1 What is Campaign Cartographer?
Campaign Cartographer (CC) is a CAD (Computer Aided Design) package,
customised for role playing games. It is manufactured by
ProFantasy Software Ltd, a company formed in October 1993. It allows
users to create and print any design they can imagine, even using
low spec PC's. With a good printer the quality of finished work can
be "equivalent to the best in professionally published game
materials" (quote from Dragon Magazine.)
Rather than "re-designing the wheel", ProFantasy negotiated the
right to adapt existing award-winning professional CAD software for
RPG usage. Removal of dimensioning and DXF commands, which are
irrelevant to RPG usage but vital to industry, enables us to sell
thoroughbred and bug free software at a fraction of the normal cost.
1.2 What are the hardware requirements?
Any PC (386+ recommended),
2MB RAM; 5MB hard disk space;
Mouse or digitiser tablet.
VESA, SVGA, VGA, CGA, EGA and many customised graphics cards
supported up to 1280x1024 resolution.
99% of printers supported, both colour and monochrome, e.g. Hp
Deskjets, laserjets, Epson and Canon bubblejets
2.0 What is Dungeon Designer?
Dungeon Designer (DD) is the first add-on product for Campaign
Cartographer. It requires CC. It augments CC's flexible design
powers with over 100 new symbols, three new menu systems and more
than 20 specialised commands. These are fully integrated with CC's
existing menu systems allowing underground (and above ground)
architecture and natural cave systems to be designed in a few
logical steps.
2.7 How does DD integrate with CC?
DD and all other add-ons integrate completely with CC. You can swap
between the different menus with single key presses. DD will also
run straight from DOS if CC is installed. Any design produced in CC
can be adjusted in any add-on.
