    Default Hello from Minneapolis.

    I wanted to say hi.

    I've been drawing campaign and gaming maps on paper with pencils for nearly 30 years. I wanted to look into computer software and see what I can do with that.

    I'm specifically interested in fantasy world and city building at this time.

    I'm about to read the getting started post on this thread, but if anyone has any advice or suggestions I'm all ears.

    Thanks.

    I'd say you've already figured out the best step, which is joining the Cartographers' Guild! Welcome, and yeah, the best advice I can give is to read a few things and look at some of the work-in-progress threads. Looking at how other people work has taught me more than any other single thing here. And asking the odd question doesn't hurt.

    cheers,
    Meshon

    Hello Dremendond, Welcome to the Guild!

    There is a great tutorial in the sticky section of Tutorials, called Quickstart Guide to Fantasy Mapping: http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=4276

    From there, go to Hand Drawn Mapping for the Artistically Challenged: http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...ad.php?t=10655

    Once you have completed those two tutorials, you'll be well on your way!!
