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.

Ooooo! ChickPea! Happy Mappy Birthday to yoooooooou!
Yeah, I hope so too. It's in the Highlands though, so who knows....!
Sounds like brilliant fun - a good old knees up after all the hard work! Hope the weather's good for it!
Ah, it's cool. I'm preparing myself this week for the drinking that lies ahead....!
Well that one was doubly deserved! You must be burning the candle at both ends just lately, with all the mapping and book reviews and a wedding to boot! I feel a bit tired just thinking about it
