Other World Mapper

[Big Mac]

Less than 36 hours to go!

We've achieved the fifth stretch goal, DM tools, and we're closing in on the sixth!

The Kickstarter is now on $23,923, with just $1,077 needed to fund the Mac OS and Linux versions. The Kickstarter ends in 9 hours, so anyone who has been waiting for the Mac OS or Linux version to be funded should back now...or at least camp on the page for the next eight and a half hours.

There is an interview, with the Other World Mapper team, on Tabletop Terrors, if you want to know more about the software.

Does your mapper generate fractals ? At least for the coast lines ?

They have gone past $25,000 so anyone waiting for Mac OS and Linux should jump onboard before the Kickstarter ends in a few hours.

If you have not backed yet, you only have 5 hours left to make your decision. I'll see if I can ping one of the staff at Other World Mapper for you.

I got an answer from the Other World Mapper team on their Kickstarter comment page:

@David All the tools have options for a fractal pen, with configurable options.

I hope that helps, Deadshade. You only have four hours left to make your purchasing decision.

(I'm probably going to be going to bed soon, so if you have more questions, you might want to drop $1, so that you can ask them over on their comments page. That is what I did before I was sure that the Mac OS goal was going to get funded.)

Thanks for the answer.
I was tempted for a moment but couldn't see where was the difference to Campaign Cartographer or even Autorealm (which is free).
It will probably be easier to use but the speed is not something that motivates me.

Anyway congrats to reaching your targets - it is always great when somebody can realize his project.

One major difference is that Other World Mapper will be available on Mac and Linux, unlike the other major cartography software.
