Hey all,

I'm new here and also to map making. I've recently started playing D&D with a close group of friends and am currently working on a future campaign in which I will act as the DM. I am looking to learn some technique to make some memorable world, regional, and encounter maps. This is one of the main reasons for joining this group.

I'm in my early 30's with a very young family (3 kids under age 5) so the only quiet time I get is in the evenings and I'm wanting to expand and build on my creativity. I live in Winnipeg, Canada where I work as an executive chef providing meals for those in our community that are less fortunate. In my spare time I enjoy playing music, video games, and just enjoying life in general.

I have to admit that I am more than just a little impressed with the quality of work that a lot of people in this guild put out and I am very excited to learn from each and every one of you. I'm currently working with Gimp to develop maps, but find it tough to draw lines with my gaming mouse (although the 12 extra action buttons come in handy for shortcuts). I'm hoping to get a drawing tablet in the near future to help with this.
