Welcome!
The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

New year, and new year resolution; get back into cartography now the holiday season has ended. This map I drew yesterday to get back into the swing of it. Nothing special, but it was good fun. I plan to colour and name the major cities over the following week, then re-scan and re-upload. I may or may not digital-ise it through gimp, I don't know yet so we'll see.
