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.

Wow, thanks for the very kind words! And the same back at ya - out of the cubic buttload of talented map-makers on this site, yours always catch my eye, without fail.
Hey Diamond, I was very impressed by your Dark Empire map which i think is one of the finest maps i have ever seen, and it inspired me to try some new things in my own professional work. I'm working on the next batch of Piazo Pathfinder maps right now and some of the finishes are a direct result of your influential Dark Empire style. I just wanted to thank you for doing such fantastic work, and let you know that your maps are very much admired by a fellow cartographer in the industry Thanks man, Jared Blando
