Weekly Round-up - 16th April, 2018

Welcome to the weekly round-up, a summary of what’s happened at the Guild over the past seven days.





March/April 2018 Lite Challenge : Map Guild World

At the time of publishing, voting is currently underway for the March/April Lite Challenge, so head for the voting thread and pick your favourites.


April 2018 Challenge : Map a Realm

April’s challenge, using the ever popular Donjon generator, is another great one with over a dozen entries at the time of writing. There’s still time to enter, so hit up the generator, claim your realm, and start mapping.

If you have questions, or want to more info, take a look at Diamond’s intro thread, or take a peek at the current entries via the challenge folder.


Challenge Suggestions

Daistallia suggests we ‘Map a Song’. We did this once before, and it was a popular challenge, so if you’d like a re-run, go vote up the suggestion.





We have a new Cartographers' Choice this week! Congrats to Tainotim for his map 'The City of Waterill', a very well-deserved win.
