    Default Hello

    Hi, I'm Justin from New York. I originally found this site from the mapmaking subreddit while I was trying to map out my homebrewed world for some DnD. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to get a good handle of digital programs like Gimp, but I'm hoping to learn enough about making world and city maps to just do it by hand. Thanks for having me!

    Hi Justin, and welcome!

    I suggest heading for the Tutorials section and trying a few. There are a whole bunch for Gimp users and working through a couple, even if you're not that keen on the end result, will help you to get a grasp of basic techniques that you can take further. There's a Quick Start intro guide here, and a bunch of downloadable PDF tutorials here. The 'Hand-Drawn Mapping (for the Artistically Challenged)' tutorial is always popular, and might be a good one to start with.

    I hope you can create something that pleases you, and the best advice is just to keep at it, as I promise that you will get better! If you're stuck with something specific, don't be shy to ask for help.
