Welcome!
The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Hey Sizeman! I just wanted to drop by and sincerely thank you for your vote on my November/December "Map a Flying Island" Lite Challenge entry! I'm not sure what your interest level is in this kind of thing, but Bogie just posted the details for the December/January Challenge. If you're interested in learning cartography, learning digital arts, or just improving what you already know, I recommend giving it a shot. It's a lot of fun and the feedback you get is truly first rate! Regardless, thank you for your vote and hope to see you around the site!
