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.

Thanks Shall I'm glad that little dragon map won something.
Congratulations for winning 2019 Atlas award, John! The original idea and the masterful art style supported by the amazing mood - with Islands of the Sleepy Dragon you really took us from the conventional mappmaking into the ocean of the unbound imagination!
Merry Christmas even the day after is still festive.
It's a pleasure I'm thoroughly enjoying your maps.
Thanks for the rep and the comments on Tris Korinthos, J!
I can't wait to see your version of the Sword Coast! Thanks for the rep and the inspiring comment, John!
