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.

Congratulations for winning the 2019 Atlas award, Francesca! Your watercolor style is as superb as ever and the overall composition and the perspective on the "Legends of the Five Rings - Castle Map" bring to us the beautiful new artistic approach to structure and dungeon mapping!
Thank you!
Although all of your maps are gorgeous, every line of the Oravský Podzámok Map is absolutely perfect. Well deserved Atlas Award, Francesca, congratulations!
