Just wondering what people use; I was nearly thinking of digging out something like RPG Maker which is relatively easy to use and can do internals and externals. It doesn't have to be super accurate and detailed. I like Heromachine for doing character portaits(though it has it's limits) but I also want to build some locations for the places set in my fics.

If you are looking for maps, try this site: https://rpgcharacters.wordpress.com/

Dyson makes some nice stuff and he has a zillion maps.

I've always wanted to try CC3, but it ends up kind of a hefty price tag for the styles I'd have to buy. One of their annuals has the old 3E map style to purchase. And then there's a dungeons of Schley deal that looks cool. Maybe someday. hehe

ugh just tried using the cartography creator map thing and it's such a nightmare. i've been using it for 15 minutes and i still can't figure out how to move a room i've created. really counter intuitive. maybe it's good for creating overworld maps, but for dungeons i need something like a video game level builder.

i don't want something overly fancy/professional, something more akin to a map maker from an RPG creator might work for me

Profantasy has a suite of CAD-based map-making tools, if you have the money. The Cartographer's Guild has a section on software that might be of use to you.
