List of Questions from Me!
So, a number of questions.
I found this place via Googling, originally ending up at http://sub.profantasy.com/2007/april07.html What mainly interested me was the Sarah Wroot style tool, which creates the look I am going for. You see, I already have some pencil drawn maps in real life, but editing them has become tedious, and it'd be nice if I could make them electronically, hence I began searching for fantasy map-making software.
I looked around on ProFantasy, but I didn't see the individual Sarah Wroot tool for sale, so...
1) Is there any way I can get the Sarah Wroot map tool without spending $40 on the Annual, which includes lots of other tools I'm not really interested in?
2) What tool would you suggest for making these sorts of maps?
3) Are there any Demos (I only saw one Demo on ProFantasy, for Fractal Terrains)
4) Would there be any way to import the maps I have drawn in pencil into the programs? I have a scanner, I think.
Thanks.

2) Campaign Cartographer 3 (necessary) plus either Symbol Set 1 or Annual 2008.
3) There is no demo for CC3, but we have our satisfaction guarantee, the free viewer, and the video tutorials to look at.
4) Yes, you can import scanned bitmaps (png or bmp files) into CC3 drawings. Many people use this feature to trace over old hand-drawn maps.
I don't suppose the program can tell me how to do it via tutorials, or that someone here could explain how that's done?
