    For the last 20 years, I’ve been playing tabletop RPGs with friends on a very regular basis. I’ve spent a huge amount of time writing scenarii and missions. I did it with traditional pen & papers at first, and with Google Docs afterwards.

I love your list! I had never heard of Standard Action before, I'm looking forward to checking it out. I do request adding Dungeon Scrawl to the list if you want; it may be newer, but it has a lot of features that make it pleasant to use.

Added Dungeon Scrawl and Dungeon Map Doodler, two excellent new editors. Also added Shmeppy and the new version of ANAmap.
