    Post I am a mapaholic

    Hello gang,

    My name is Chris, I'm 37. I've been mapping for about 5 years, mostly making worlds an continents so when I stumbled across this "mappers anonymous" club I new I could get some help with my mapping problems (I've been wanting to do city-size maps but didn't know where to start). My style is very loose and free with lots of levity and not too much adherence to the core rules. The party members all manifest some sort of psychological disorder and this really makes things fun (although beginner gamers find it hard to stay in-character). We do the whole psych thing 'cuz we were psych students.

    Ciao 4 now

    Welcome Ascension. Don't sell your self short. The city map you just posted is a very good piece of work, with just a few easily fixed issues. Post your world and regional maps as soon as possible!

    Also, what do you map with? Looks like PS, GIMP, Paint Shop Pro, or something like that in your other thread.

    The baby photos are in another thread, here. Heh heh I think one of those maps had a river violation in it but I can't find it now.
