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.

If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ. You will have to register before you can post or view full size images in the forums.

About Jalella

Biography:: I studied Physics, then started as a Software Developer in Aviation business. Now I'm kind of technical product manager there.
Colleagues brought me to Dungeons & Dragon. There we started playing completely pen&paper, but the laptop came mor eand more into play. I designed character sheets in Excel and used it as a combat matrix to keep track.
The grid was hand-drawn but also there Campaign Cartographer came into my hands.
Now we are playing with VTT maptools, now roll20. What always fascinates me is a good drawn map. Beauty is fine but it must also be useful for the play. roll20 was my latest choice there not because it is better than maptools (they are on eqal level I would say), but roll20 provides the more beautiful feeling for maps with its gorgeous dynamic lighting system.

Interests:: Astronomy, Physics, Literature, Philosophy, Theater, Movies and guess what? Maps
