Hello from a worldbuilder, artist, writer, game designer!

[Josh Foreman]

A friend of mine has been seeing the map progress I've been posting and said I should check this place out. And hey, cool! Here's where all the artists that made most of the maps in my reference folder hang out! I haven't signed up for a forum since the mid-aughts but this blast to the past feels worth it, haha. So I've been developing a single world for over 20 years, and my co-author and I have been writing novels in it for over 10. We've self-published our first novel and the second will come out as soon as I'm done with the maps! I've already learned a lot from you folk just by carefully studying your work, but I look forward to more fruitful direct communication.

Your friend had a good point! Great that you finally found your way over here. I can't say I've been a very active forum user in years either, except for this place. We have an awesome community here and I'm always glad for new folks joining it. Take a look around and see all the good stuff on display, and hopefully share something of your own work as well. Welcome to the Guild!

[Ifrix]

Welcome Josh! Yeah - I think this is the only forum I've frequented in the past 10 years

I do have to ask since your name sounds familiar - did you work on GW2? If so thank you helping create a game I've sunk many hours into (and for the countless hours I've spent failing at those jumping puzzles...)
Also took a peek at your twitch and that map is looking impressive! You should throw up some wip shots on a thread

[Neflite]

Hey and welcome
I'm new here, too and I'd love to know, what world and what books have you been working on for that long? That sounds so cool

[Josh Foreman]

Ifrix, yep, I'm that Josh Foreman. Been making Guild Wars maps since 2003! Glad you had a good time jumping around in them!

Kellerica, thanks for the warm welcome! I love learning and critique, so I'm really looking forward to digging in!

Neflite, I'm not sure what the rules about self promotion are here, and since I'm new I'll err on the side of being mysterious, haha. I mean, you're free to google Tales From Talifar, but I don't want to post links unless I'm told it's cool to do so.
