Floorplan/blueprint creation for role playing

[Esben]

Sometimes I do a bit of roleplaying. I have recently taken to writing the plot and notes in XEmacs&LaTex instead of pencil&paper. This is great, except for floorplans, smallish bluieprints of buildings and such. I wonder: I there any program that can do this easily? Simple is the key. I would probably only need to do rectangles, semicircles and a bit of text. No, it doesn't have to be very compatible with LaTeX, i'll just include the result as pictures or even just separate sheets.

Any ideas? Expecially ideas in portage are welcome

While I'm on the subject: Does anybody know a place with some sketches of different human faces? Like a sumarai, or gun-man, a Joe Random, etc.

I haven't used it, but Sketch describes itself as an "Interactive X11 vector drawing program", and looks fairly small (downloaded files are about 1MB) Try that out. If not, Scribus (though a bigger program) is pretty versatile and not so hard to wrap your head around.

As for sketches, check out Tony DiTerlizzi's site . DiTerlizzi, of course, is the guy who did the early Planescape work that really helped define that whole series, among a whole lot of other work he's done.

Sketch wasn't quite me, but scribus seems good

Tony DioTerlizzi's Site is very cool, too.

Thanks a ton!
