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.

Thank you for the reputation!
Thank you, sir! Hope Saturday went well.
Thanks for the rep and comment, thomrey!
Cheers for the rep, Thomrey!
Oh wow, congrats!! That's awesome news. I do not want to see a mapvember map on Thursday, or Mrs. Thomrey will not be pleased about your priorities! Looking forward to seeing the peek at the commission.
Nothing like putting yourself under pressure! Maybe next year we can try to create some buzz about mapvember here at the Guild. I think that, if you weren't on Twitter, you'd know nothing about it. I'm really enjoying your maps, but remember you can always just do a tiny little sketch if you're really struggling for time. (Don't kill yourself with stress!!) Looking forward to seeing the work for your new commission.
Hey Thom, thanks for the kind words and rep on my recent map!
