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.

It was my pleasure.
Thanks for the vote nopkin!
No problem! And thanks for doing some good nominations ;-)
Hey Nopkin, I just wanted to let you know I deleted your Angelou map nomination, as it was posted in the finished map forum in 2016 and not 2017.
Don't mention it, it really is a wonderful map and one of my favorite entries.
Thank you thank you thank you Nopkin! You've solved a problem mate!!
Thanks for the reputation comment on my Romania map, it’s good to know that some one who actually lives there approves of it.
Thanks for the rep and comment, Nopkin! That challenge poll is really going crazy right now. Looking forwards to seeing the other picture of yours too!
Well deserved, Nopkin I've never seen a chalkboard map before. Well, that's a lie, actually. I've seen plenty done in black and white when I was at school, but they were all about physical geography and drawn the usual way - haphazardly in a few seconds flat by a teacher in a hurry. Thank you for the offer of help. I might just take you up on that... eventually... when I get a chance! LOL!
