Hello there, my name is Marnsson. I have come across this site a number of times throughout the years. I've rediscovered a love for playing roleplaying games and I enjoy writing fantasy stories (don't ask me about finished ones). Obviously, both of these invariably point towards mapmaking. I am in awe of the beautiful maps that users of this forum put out and hopefully I will be able to learn just a little to turn an enjoyable pastime into a skill.
Since I am a Linux user, my tools will be Gimp (or perhaps Krita, but I'm not very familiar with it) and Inkscape, combined with pen, paper, a scanner and a small Wacom Graphire 3 tablet.
