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.

If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ. You will have to register before you can post or view full size images in the forums.

Hi Ravells, I've just seen your map of Etrakien and I fell in love with it. It's so clean and stunning... I have a request for you: I'd like to use it as a world map for my D&D campaign, strictly for personal use and I'd like to translate it in italian, changing the names that are a bit too alien for us. Do you think it would be possible to have an high resolution version without labels?
Thanks a lot!

LOL thanks! I must be my own worst critic. I thought the test city style map ended up looking a bit blah, but I do enjoy the process. Thanks for the compliments!

*laughing quietly to myself*
I just read your post to Elana in map-making requests. You need to stop being so modest. You make those of us with less than half your talent feel bad!

I also think your 'test city style' comes near to her desires, unless you're busy or taking a break.

Congrats, Ravs! I knew you would do it. Now you've joined the society of more than one challenge award - so few of us!
