An enthusiast looking from afar..

Hi, I'm just a guy from Brazil that have been playing/GMastering RPG for about 30 years now and maps were always some of the best aids to the game. Since adult life makes real life RPG tabletop games very hard to come by and I didn't have a group to play regularly for over a decade, I've been mostly observing/lurking the forum from afar for quite a number of years now.

Fortunately technology gave us things like Roll20, Discord and other means to play table-top RPG on-line, and now I'm steadily coming back to ouwlr beloved hobby, and map making is an important part of the process. For this reason I decided it is time to update my knowledge on the current mapping tools, techniques, styles and to bring my skill back to something that would be useful to the game table but at the same time not so time consuming that wouldn't be compatible with the not that big free time I have.

Throughout these 30+ years I've been playing RPG, I already used anything to make or convey my maps from my good old 80's AD&D board game grid, to a plethora of gaming mats and grids, to vector and cad generated maps (CorelDraw/Illustrator/Autocad), to raster/pixel generated maps (Photoshop/GIMP), to some RPG-specific mapping tools (Campaign Cartographer and Dundjini), to hand drawing (some just sketchy lines made on the fly on A4 paper, a few times when I was younger and had a lot of free time, I did detailed nib/watercolor artworks that took months do complete).

Hope to learn a lot more about mapping and if possible, to one day even contribute with some tutorials.

See you around,
