Campaign Cartographer is a Windows program created by ProFantasy Software originally in 1993, designed to draw maps for role playing and miniature war games.[1] The CAD engine is based on FastCAD,[2] although most of code is written by the publishers. It includes a variety of add-ons for different genres, including fantasy, modern and science fiction.[3] Campaign Cartographer 3, was released on 30 June 2006 and has since been updated 9 times. There are currently 9 add-ons for Campaign Cartographer; 6 drawing add-ons that add tools, templates, and symbol catalogs and 3 symbol set add-ons consisting of thousands of symbols. Campaign Cartographer has been used to illustrate novels such as Shades of Gray by Lisanne Norman, Le Temple Des Eaux-Mortes by Eric Ferris, and Johannes Cabal the Detective by Jonathan L. Howard.[4] The Forgotten Realms Interactive Atlas, published by TSR Inc. in 1999, was likewise constructed using Campaign Catographer.[5]
