Using Neverwinter Nights Toolset for Custom Maps

Hi all, first post, i'm currently writing a Campaign for some friends (my very first) and i've been using the Toolset (Map Editor) from Neverwinter Nights, the 2002 PC Game by Bioware to create the area's and zones for my campaign, the Toolset itself uses a modular grid system for all the pieces which allows me to create the map and then overlay the grid within Roll20 and be sure that it will line up and fit perfectly, i simply create a map and then take a screenshot from a top down view in the editor and upload it into Roll20. I'm probably not the first person to think of this but i couldn't find any threads relating to it so i thought i might as well just pop it up here as a suggestion for a map making tool, below is an example of a snowy road area leading into a forest that i created in literally 10 minutes with the Editor. And a WIP coastal castle town Anyway, sorry if this has already been suggested, just thought it was too useful to not show or reiterate :) o/
Wow, this is really neat!
Always love the inventive uses for tools people come up with :)
If you want more organic looking terrain, grab Neverwinter Nights 2 and use that toolset.

I did something like this for my star wars game. I used the Empire at War map editor to create my city.

Is this the Neverwinter Nights PC game from a few years back?
Yes. And it's been more than a few years... more like eleven...
Wow thanks for this, yet another tool for me to resaerch and explore.
