Hello Cartographers.

My name is Tim. I stumbled upon a link to this site researching fantasy map-making software
and felt like a dwarf next to a new ore deposit. I've been an rpg'er since...well, 1983.
Pen and paper is still my favorite, but there are such lush and/or amazingly detailed
maps out there using software that I wanted to try outlining districts for a city
a friend and I are creating for an upcoming campaign of 4ed. D&D. Lots of ideas are
written down, with more each week as we research what makes a (fantasy) city
a city. I'm looking into 3-D rendering, but currently I've picked up Gimp and Inkwell,
since the price is unbeatable.

I am returning student with a dual major in Spanish and English, emphasis
in translation; and when not trying to 'kill' my party, I consume a lot of poetry.
Ultimately, I'm brand new to cartography software, so I will be spelunking the tutorials
here and at youtube, until I'm ready to start posting works-in-progress.

Thank you for making and populating this site; I'm off with my canary and lantern.

Namasté,
~Tim (Halo of Gnats)
