  1. 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.

    If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ. You will have to register before you can post or view full size images in the forums.

    The Cartographers' Guild has teamed up with the Soho Gallery for Digital Art to present a digital show of fantasy and sci-fi maps from the 16th of July to the 1st of September in Soho, Manhattan. The show will include maps from Industry Pros, Featured Maps and Challenge Winners from the lifetime of the Guild. The maps on display will be offered for sale as limited edition prints with 70% of the profit going to the artists in question. We have an amazing body of work here at the guild and it is high time it was seen hanging in a proper gallery!

    I have been contacting members of the guild whose work falls into these categories over the past weeks. I've had a great response from everyone and I've sent round the contract to those members from whom I have had a firm commitment. If your work qualifies and you have not heard from me please send me an email at jonathan@fantasticmaps.com. Equally, if you responded to my initial contact and have not received a contract today then please email me. This is likely to be due to problems with syncing real world names with CG usernames.

    A low res preview of the animated screens can be found here:

    In case you haven't been keeping an eye on the main forum page, we have now surpassed the $500 stretch target!

    Because of the generosity of our members, we have been able to upgrade the site software and migrate to a new host sooner than expected.

    On behalf of myself and Robbie (Arcana) a big thanks to everyone who has contributed to the Guild!

    New Homepage and Options

    Fellow Mappers,

    I have just upgraded us to the vBulletin Publishing Suite, which gives us a Content Management System and Blogs, as well as many other features that are still to be configured. I ask that you please bear with us as we get all of this configured and working properly. If you encounter any problems, please post them in the Forum Upgrade Discussion sub-forum under General Discussion. Feel free to poke around, but if given the option to change anything or post anything to Blogs or CMS, please avoid do so until further notice. Thank you for all your patience and support!
