This is a fantastic piece of software. I was hesitant given the price, but it has quickly turned into one of my favorite Steam purchases. It has breathed new life into so many old games on top of being just a super nice piece of digital graph paper. In fact, I spent several days just plotting out dungeons like a 13 year old in detention.
Seriously, if you play a lot of dungeon crawlers or enjoy building dungeons on graph paper for whatever reason, this is a no brainier. I can't say enough good things about it.
