Hey, there. I'm just starting with map-making, primarily for a D&D game that I'm running for my wife and some friends. Right now, I'm particularly interested in creating maps that are realistic, in terms of things like physical geography, climate, and human geography. However, I'm also a software developer, so I'm potentially interested in learning about (or maybe contributing to) mapping software.

Mainly, I'm just looking forward to being educated, inspired, and encouraged on this forum. I don't know if mapping will become a primary hobby for me in time or just something I do occasionally, but I'm hopeful to learn a lot and enjoy the process either way.
