I'm soon to be running with a new group, and we'll be using n on-line tool called RollD20. The only problem is making the maps. Does anyone know if there are any ready-made maps (I'm going to be running Scales of War) compatable with RollD20, or any simple FREE map making tools that are compatable with RollD20. Any help?

I use OpenOffice Draw for my mapmaking. Here's an example from one of my PbP games:

Nice work, Astromath.

Astromath, where can I find your OpenOffice draw program to make that kind of map? Couldn't find it in my Microsoft Office folder.

OpenOffice isn't Microsoft Office. Just do a search for Open Office in google.

Need a few pre-generated characters for a one-shot you are running? Want to get a baseline for what an effective build for a class you aren't familiar with? Check out the Pregen thread here

Astro, where do you get the textures from? I'm looking at making and printing maps for my encounters I run with a few mates. (Free printing, yay!)

Dundjinni isn't free, but it is excellent and not terribly expensive...
FWIW [4e designer] baseline assumption was that roughly 70% of your feats would be put towards combat effectiveness, parties would coordinate, and strikers would do 20/40/60 at-will damage+novas. If your party isn't doing that... well, you are below baseline, so yes, you need to optimize slightly to meet baseline.

Maptool is a nice free tool.
RPGmapshare.com and the dunjinni forums both have tons of free maps that you can pillage.
