Maptool is a really ambiguous name. You get far too many GPS and topographical mapping applications.

@berserkgatsu10 It is called MapTool. You can find out more at rptools.net.

As the description says it is a demo for MapTool. You can find that by Googling the name.

@AIWAC MapTool is the Virtual Table Top component of the RPTools (rptools.net) toolkit, which is a slightly less ambiguous name.

They are really everywhere. The Dundjinni forums, CSUAC, RPTools, RPGMapShare, Cartographer’s Guild.

Is there a zipped archive of the most common ones used, as well as instructions for installing them on MapTool by any chance?

There is not really any such thing as “most common”. However there is a torrent on the RPTools forums that someone created that has about 2 gigs worth. As for installing them, you don’t. All you do is go to File->Add Resource and point it at the directory where you have the graphics saved.

I should also mention that there is now a complete set of tutorials linked from the RPTools website. They are a little out of date, but still useful.
