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.

So I've got a game coming up and I wanted an area map and sat down to draw one. I may have gone over the top but enjoyed it thoroughly. I'll admit I still do need to work on my lettering and being more clear on finer details. Edit: Changed scale from 1cm:1km to 1cm:5km. I felt it was too small before.
