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.

Hey Tony! Have a really great Birthday. I hope you get at least one wish come true
But you are allowed to tell them how to make their own if they want to for themselves - with a helpful reminder that the modified symbols can't then be redistributed
Thanks Mouse...and of course, the wall symbols are the one thing everyone is asking me for. I've had to tell them no can do...I'm sure people don't like it but them's the rules.
Well deserved I can see the new walls. It was actually the first thing I noticed when I was looking at how you had done the map. Nice innovation
Thanks for the rep and nice comment Mouse. As you can see, I've figured out a way to make walls without having to use city icons with the walls attached
You're welcome, Tony
Thanks for the rep, vote, and comment Sue
You're welcome, Tony Your story was hilarious - great entertainment, and it was a terrible shame that you had that disaster. I hope you are on your way to getting a new machine fixed up
Thanks for the rep Sue .
