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.

Time to begin the CanOfWorms post about what lies behind a map? But the world? check the history link on my byline/site. I've begun the first few lines that will define the world itself. I like to think I've read enough Fantasy books to know but, isn't this the crux of what making a map is for, pointers anyone or interest in helping? I'll gladly take the plunge into NWN2 building if some other noob wants to fry with me but NWN1 is too old for them. I've done some decent NWN2 areas.
