Me and My First Map - Hello!
Hey all. This is Shinobicow. I'm new here. I have been a gamer for a loooongg time and now I write about them a lot more than I play them. I run The Dump Stat a blog about RPG's and optimizing your gaming experience. I also post semi-frequently on Stargazer's Wolrd, where i do reviews and talk about world building.
I am pretty new to mapping digitally; i live in Japan and map on a netbook with a mouse (no awesome programs or gadgets here). But, since we are doing intros, i thought I would post my first map here. I hope people have some comments and tips on making it better. I'm here to learn
Enjoy!

Interesting. The painterly ocean works pretty well the vivid colors on land. You might want to read up on rivers - in our tutorial section we have plenty of advice on that area. Welcome to The Guild.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Oooh. Thanks for the Rep. That's cool. I will check out the rivers section. Seems like a good idea to me. I want to put in some more work on the map that I posted and hopefully get into more detail. It is a really big one, so hopefully, I'll be able to work on smaller stuff and eventually get it printed... gulp. Long way to go though.
Well, posting a map with your first post is always a good way to get some well deserved rep, so have some more.
Yeah, there are some river violations but reading up on them would sort them out I think.
After you work on this a bit more, start a WIP (Work In Progress) thread in the World/Regional Map section of the WIP forum. You will get ooodles more C&C over there, And don't be shy about asking any questions there either. We don't bite, and most of the advice is intended to turn your work into a great map.
Have fun and welcome to the Guild, The Mappiest Place on the Web.

Cool. I'll head over there and get some feedback. I need to check out that rivers thread. I kind of just threw them on where I felt they might be interesting.
Welcome to the Guild!
Yep, best check that river thread, lest the River Police issue you a citation!
