Hello. I'm new to the site. My name is Steven Reed. I'm a tabletop role-playing gamer from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan looking to improve my map-making skills. I recently started using Obsidian Portal to build websites for my campaigns. Obsidian Portal pointed me here for map-making advice. I have messed around a bit with Photoshop, Hexographer and a few other mapping programs, but I find hand-drawn maps to be the most aesthetically appealing.

Maxime's maps are stunning. Seeing that cartographers of his calibre share their valuable time and energy with this community inspired me to get involved and avail myself to the knowledge of the Guild.

While fantasy gaming has been my primary creative outlet for decades, most of my public creative output thusfar has been musical. I am a synthesizer player, DIY sound engineer, grantwriter, and a former music industry association administrator. I am addicted to podcasts and collecting vinyl (mostly psych, doom metal, and kraut rock). The only social media site I enjoy anymore is Instagram. My handle there is @stevedwightreed

I look forward to learning from you all. Thank you for having me.
