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.
