I caught the bug

Hello everybody! I've been playing RPG's for 20 years or so now, and had never made a map aside from scribbling on graph paper until a few days ago. I am currently GMing the Kingmaker Adventure Path for Pathfinder, which has the players building their own city. Last week, my players were talking about how they needed a map, and I decided to give it a shot.

That's how I found this site, and followed pyrandon's amazing tutorial to create a city in Photoshop. Then, after that, I followed madcowchef's tutorial to make a battlemap for a trading post outside the player's city.

Now, I'm hooked. I've found so much enjoyment in learning more about Photoshop and making these maps. I'm looking forward to being inspired by all of you and learning more as I try to get better at this craft.

Can't wait to see your first maps appearing on the forum
