Welcome to ME!
Hey everyone,
Old time world builder, but nothing ever really got off the ground. Getting really into the mapmaking aspect of this and want to make my maps more realistic and believable, as well as higher quality. I am a super scrubby artistic noob but hopefully I have some interesting pieces to contribute.
Welcome! There's help aplenty here, to take that nonartistic noobishness and gen up maps nevertheless. And then to take the edge off the new & non, and polish a bit of craftsmanship into being. All it takes is a few tens or thousands of hours of work :-).
We are blessed by a field - fantasy mapping - where if nobody has ever seen nor imagined what you are drawing into existence, then there's none to say you're wrong! What we can say is whether something is plausible, or if it seems to look pleasant - and that comes from new folks and *ahem* old alike. I can rock the *old* moniker, by birthdays at least. And I can tell you that olds and noobs alike here, you've chanced on a sociable bunch, who tend to lift up and steer straight (except for randomized rivers and coastlines - there we steer with fractal abandon).
So show us what you've been drawing, and tell us what you want to do instead (or better, or different, or whatnot). If there's a vice here, it's that we always want to see MORE MAPS. :-)
Well thank you for the warm welcome. Definitely warmer than reddit that's for sure! Makes me feel like just jumping right in and posting up some of my mappity mappy maps.
Well, then, by all means, post away!!! We'd love to see what you have done, and we all (relative noob here) want to help!

Yup, gotta agree with JB and the others...We want MAAAPS!!
And don't worry about noobness 'cause here at The Guild we don't tolerate rapping of knuckles or brow beating or ripping off of heads over your works. We DO offer plenty of advice, suggestions and opinions/observations but you are not forced to follow ANY of it because as JB said, it is your world and your vision.
A couple of warnings though...No one EXPECTS THE RIVER POLICE!! and watch out for Jax...he walks around here looking for BRAAAAINS!!!....I think he is a little confused about our vices, really
