    Post Hello all

    Just thought I'd introduce myself properly. I know a lot about computers but very little about maps. I've got a new campaign coming up soon and I want to get some proper maps made. I've already found some great tutorials to help me out with GIMP, and this community is one of the friendliest I've ever seen.

    So again, Hi!

    Hi xcorvis! Best way to get started is to use one of the tutorials and then post up the results so people can comment / help. Good luck with your new maps!
