Good afternoon, all.

[Bohemiana]

I am Bohemiana, a soon to be college Junior from the Golden State. I'm an Urban Planning major, and am trying to double major in Geography (I should have an answer to that July 6). I'm very into fantasy, especially the worldbuilding aspect, and seem to be one of the few fantasy worldbuilders who prefers both widespread magic that the average person knows exists and 19th century technology levels and social constructs in the same setting. I own Campaign Cartographer 3, City Designer 3, and Fractal Terrains 3, but I'm very new to using them. I'm here to learn not just for my fantasy projects, but because I need to eventually develop some GIS skills for my intended line of work, and if I can't handle ProFantasy software I'm not looking good on that end.

Hello Bohemiana, welcome to the Guild!

If you want to try some other software than the ones you named, you might read a 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

Once you have completed those two tutorials, you'll be well on your way!!

Thanks. I did get the CC3 tutorials off of that link, but software really is my thing. I don't have a drawing hand worth much of anything.
