    Default Hello Everyone!

    Thanks to the Internet gremlins, my first attempt to post here seems to have gone missing.

    Trying again, I found a book by Jared Blando that has inspired me to try my hand at making maps. I have loved maps for as long as I can remember. Combining that with being a long time RPG player, I'm going to see how I fair at mapping a campaign world for an upcoming game.

    Jared's website had a link to this site and I came straight here! Admittedly, I'm rather artistically challenged but Jared's book made the process seem quite approachable.

    I'm looking forward to learning a new hobby!

    Hey Tracey, welcome to the Guild.
    There are lots of knowledgeable, friendly and helpful people here so you've come to the right place.
    There are a lot of tutorials about different styles of mapping.
    Try out some, post a map and ask questions. You'll get good help.
    Cheers,
    John

    Hello Tracey, Welcome to the Guild!

    To get you started, there is a great tutorial in the sticky section of Tutorials, called
    Quickstart Guide to Fantasy Mapping: http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=4276

    From there, go to
    Hand Drawn Mapping for the Artistically Challenged: http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...ad.php?t=10655

    Once you have completed those two tutorials, you'll be well on your way!!
