Sources of Mapping Assets

A far-from-comprehensive list of useful sites where you can find mapping assets that you can use in MapForge, via drag-and-drop.

This is a work in progress. Expect more links to be added over time.

Assume that all art is for personal use only, unless commercial use is specifically mentioned/allowed.

Dundjinni User Forums (sadly, this superb resource recently went offline, presumably forever)
http://www.dundjinni.com/forums/default.asp
(commercial use of the artwork is allowed)

Subforum for Isometric Art

RPGMapShare Gallery

(the site itself has seen better days, as some postings never survived a migration of the back-end software, but the artwork is generally great)

Fantasy Mapping Art
A hoard of PNGs that I believe someone collected from the Dundjinni User Forums and put into a single 384 MB Zip file. As far as I know, that’s all legit “pubic domain” content, since I’m not seeing anything from commercially-sold art packs. Much of the CSUAC content is in there, too, for those who don’t already have a copy of the CSUAC archives.
