If you find yourself playing through classic dungeon-heavy CRPG series like The Bard's Tale, Wizardry, or Eye of the Beholder in the near future or are an aspiring Game Master/Dungeon Master and want to put your map-making skills to work on something other than physical graph paper, then you'll be happy to learn that David Walters' Grid Cartographer software has evolved from its original 2013 release to the point that version 4 is now available on Steam. There's a 10% discount during its launch week, making its $49.99 asking price a little more inviting:
