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.

Ah, well now. I didn't add a grid to them because maptool places it's own grid. However, I can certainly place a tiling grid on the background texture so that you can draw out your rooms. I'll add a post to the dungeon tiles thread about using these tiles in gimp to build a dungeon.
Hi Torstan, Hope you dont mind me messaging you but i have read a couple of your posts and they are awesome. The one I have just read is the small project for maptool which has some fab tiles. I want to be able to use these but dont use VTT/Map tool. Ideally what I want to do is make printabel 1"=5' tiles /rooms/corridors and then print out and stick to foam for use in tabletop D&D. One of the important things for me is to have a one inch grid more obvious on the tiles so that people know where to align there minatures. I have tried to use your tiles as a pattern but i dont seem to have this grid. Is it possible to use your tiles in this way? please please help, sort of running out of time to get things sorted for a game on weds. Thanks Ian
