Welcome!
The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

... not sure if this set-up is too complicated or just plain easy, would have to try it but not running a campaign currently so I guess it will not be trialled extensively ... After each turn the players will be a little dizzy. Direction sense (or a compass if they have one) may give away some clues. Also watching how the doors shift when they "open" and "close" may give away some info... Story/Hook to be invented yet ... also have to experiment with printability .... anyway, here's the 1st thing i made...
