Treasure Tables is on hiatus as of December 13th, 2007 -- after two years of daily posts, I needed a break. If you're looking for GMing material, I have two recommendations: the hundreds of posts in TT's archives, and my new project, the multi-author GMing blog Gnome Stew. Happy GMing! -- Martin

Gliffy: Exportable Maps for Modern Games

Thu. August 24, 2006 

Gliffy is a free online service that allows you to create and share charts, diagrams, graphs and maps on the web. It’s that last one that’s interesting: Even with a very limited object set (chair, desk, bed, table, etc.), it’s fun to fiddle around with.

Here’s a sample image of a floorplan. You can also export your creations as images, which could be printed as handouts, or share them online (handy for a play-by-post game).

It’s currently in beta, with plans for a paid version and an ad-supported free version. You have to sign up, but there’s no confirmation process. (Via Vitaly Friedman’s Notebook.)

    gaaah… just useful enough to be neat, just limited enough to be not worth it (at least, if you’re used to anything like a real CAD or floorplan software).

    but hey, free is good. :)
