I thought that realm works would have map making software included. I am a little disappointed. I use hero lab all the time. I was hoping that I could host whole games online including maps with tokens. Just not sure about realm works. I saw that some people have software they use already. Any ideas? I'm not great at designing maps online I need a simple to use software.

RW is a campaign management software solution not a Cartography program of which their are lots. It is also not a VTT (virtual table top) software either because once again their is lots of those around. Heck Paizo has one coming out someday soon that is suppose to be free.
Its for managing campaigns and all the stuff that entails like NPCs, countries, places, dungeons, and relationships between NPCs. In the past people have used Wikis, onenote, word documents, yahoo groups, and many other individual applications. Now its all in one software built from the ground up to support RPG games. I know some of their screen shots show maps and it can handle maps and with pins and display Fog of War. But it can't actually create the maps as its not the intent of RW.
