What's the easiest way to make a dungeon map? I can make encounters and worlds fine but struggle with the encounter maps. Any help/suggestions?

Easiest is difficult because the answer will likely change depending on what the encounter entails. For me personally I try and find something that already exists and tailor it to what I want/need. If nothing else, I kick it old school and just draw out my maps on graph paper. If I want a better version I'll take the hand drawn map and make it on the computer. So yeah, my answer isn't the easiest but it always gets me where I want to go, haha.

I use dotted "grid" paper to sketch out things then finalize them on photoshop if I have the time. I mostly just use the hundreds on maps already available online.

I've been using Inkarnate, which is a pretty good tool. It could use some more features, but being able to save and edit a map for later work is really handy. |

Yeah, Inkarnate is a great tool. I know one of the designers. It is their pet project, and I'm not sure if it has fallen by the way side, or if they are still actively working on it. Either way though it is a great resource to use.

Dungeonographer is a pretty cool program, but the things it does as far as the grid is concerned, you could do if you had enough time to kill on mspaint.
What it does that is cool is that it can make a random dungeon with a click of a button and all you have to do is plop down statues, secret doors, etc.
