Dromed Map tutorial for The GIMP
How to make maps for DromEd in The GIMP, originally by Savage, converted to pdf by qolelis. Note that the tutorial contains a link to a blank maps zip that was hosted on Salvage's old website, but that file no longer exists (not even in the Wayback Machine). I recommend that you look at Vigil's Thief II blank maps instead.
