So the wifey and I finally make it back to Washington after being stranded in Oregon for a bit, I've successfully tackled all the various problems at work from being gone to long and the weather being bloody cold, and when I finally get to doing fun stuff, I can't seem to do anything right.
It started at ACE hardware where I bought to boxes of fifty rounds (winchester ball) in .45 and 9mm and paid $13.99 for the .45 and $26.99 for the 9mm. This was a mistake neither I nor the salesperson caught. Worse, I paid cash so I forked over more than I knew I should pay and didn't notice. DUH!
Finally, the weekend time to relax plan out the next GURPs campaign. It's steampunk and set on a different planet (in a whole different dimension but no one knows yet) so I go to my map creator to map out the planet and important sites etc and...
I don't have it. It seems none of my various RPG aids made the migration to the new computer and the only ones I have on CD and the vehicles and character makers which I don't use. Argh.
Did a quick check about the intrawebs for a freeware/shareware program I could use, afterall, my last one was, I could not find anything worth trying to use for a world map. All kinds of stuff for cities and such, but nothing for whole planets. Unless I want to pay $50, which I don't.
Anyone got better google-fu than I? Hell, anything I could use.

This is one of those forums, where you are going to have to specify what your acronym means.

Roll Playing Game I'm guessing.

Re: RPG help
Sorry about that, the post was written rather hastily (and poorly). Yeah, I mean role playing game.
And yes, everything is better with high explosives.

Well if you need help with a Steampunk Rocket Propelled Grenade then I am your man. Role Playing Games not so much.

Sorry, I generally use a pencil and a hex map for that.
