For a simple approach, how about trying Pyro's Dungeon Builder map making application? You could make a bigger map that looks vaguely like the one you already have (in terms of colour, features, etc.), save it and then overlay your original map in the middle of the larger one to create a bigger map with the central encounter area. Of course, there will be an obvious join, but it will probably work and be quite quick...Quote:

Or, start with a new large, blank image in GIMP (or whatever tool you use), import the original encounter map into the middle and use tools in GIMP to clone sections of the map. Look for add on images on the internet to add terrain and also textures.
There are other posts in the forums on how people use graphics programs to create maps and textures and feature images are mentioned - I think there's a thread by DrZeuss, and also look at post #6 on this thread for a link to the CSUAC image archive.
