I am trying to design some scenareos, can anyone recommend a decent program which allows me to draw maps for this purpose? |

Photoshop or GIMP. Seriously, if you want flexibility, use a dedicated graphics editing program. There's also Campaign Cartographer, it's focus lies on fantasy RPG maps but there's no reson why anything else shouldn't be possible. |

Battle Chronicler is pretty good and it is free. Takes a little bit of effort to learn battlechronicler.com |

getback, BC looks interesting. Thanks for the link. Do you use it? If so, what are your thoughts on it? If possible, some details would be cool. I may like to try it, however, when you say "takes a little bit of effort to learn" it makes me wonder how "steep" the learning curve is as opposed to its overall "worth" of use. |

There's MappingBoard (map.tylermade.co.uk) as well which I'm happy to answer any questions about. As Cherno said you can use a normal graphics program but if so I'd suggest a vector graphics app like CoralDraw or the free Inkscape. |
