Thread: Hello everyone!

    Default Hello everyone!

    I'm an rpg player who is interested in mapping my worlds, mostly as a creative outlet. I've been reading through a lot of the material on here over the past few days, and it's all very helpful! When I started searching for map-making advice, I never thought I would find the quality and quantity of resources available here.

    Thanks for the tutorials. I look forward to being an active member of the site!

    Hello Bill, Welcome to the Guild!

    I'm not sure why you started with the Atlas tutorial, because that's a very hard one to do. It might be much easier to get going if you start with the 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

    After those, you may have a much easier time getting going

    And don't feel bad if you struggle mightily with the tutorials. For some reason I always had a hard time with tutorials. Probably because I was to impatient but whatever, I don't think I ever did one of them totally correctly either

    If you keep at it, you can get it.
