    Post Big Iron Vault saying hello

    Hello everyone, I was invited to join this forum by Loogie who mentioned that there's some great talent here in regards to map making. I publish a gaming magazine and currently working on an in house RPG (haven't been announced yet). www.bigironvault.com

    I hope that I'll be able to find someone here to help me make a map of the world that the RPG is based in. In addition, if anyone wants to say write up an article regarding map making or something like that (or anything for that matter) please let me know. We have a few pages left for the second issue and I think it would be a really neat article to read.

    Thanks!

    Keith

    It might be a good idea to express where you want these submissions to be sent to. For some reason I cant Privet Message you (post count maybe?) through your CartoGuild profile. I have looked at your site, would you prefer the submissions to be made through your site? and where?

    I'm going to have to work on my post count then!

    I have some experience with CC2 and CC3 but nothing much more than that. On that note, I will be able to send some of my previous works and see what comes back. Ideally, I'd like to organize the submissions from here.

    Let me build up my post count or if you can't wait please email me at my email here that I use for the forum.

    Thanks,

    Keith

    Oh one more thing, what is the "standard" types of agreements between publishers and cartographers for this site for maps made?

    There is no 'standard' , the Guild itself simply acts as a forum at which cartographers and publishers might meet but how they choose to deal with each other afterwards is entirely up to them.

    If there is an existing map on the forum that you would like to use, your best bet is to pm the person who drew it.

    Post up a request in the Mapping Request forum (please read the sticky which indicated what information to provide), so your request doesn't get lost in the member intro threads.
