I have spent years trying to use a computer program for my dungeon mapping. Campaign Cartographer is an amazing program in the right hands - those hands are not mine. Dundjinni is another excellent mapping program. I came closer to success with this one, but still far from pleasing, and it takes me forever.
I stumbled across Dungeon Demon from Rusty Axe Games last nite, a surprisingly intuitive mapping program for the mapping impaired. I was able to put a no frills 4 room dungeon together in about 10 minutes, suitable for my online Virtual Table Top of choice, Fantasy Grounds (tho iTabletop may be knocking on that door soon). I figure if I spend another 20 minutes making it all pretty I'll be pretty well set.
It won't overwhelm you with options, and will probably be seen as a mapping program with training wheels for the mapping masters out there, but I need the training wheels :)
This is a first for me. I'm actually kind of excited. Another excuse for not running a game removed from me. Going to need to get off my ass and DM soon it seems.
If I get anywhere near passable I'll post some on the blog, just don't hold your breath ;)

Ironically, I have done much better work by my own hand in Photoshop than with Campaign Cartographer. Have you seen this map of mine?
