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.

Thanks a lot for the rep and the kind words ChickPea!
Thanks for the rep and your comment Abu. It's very much appreciated. And yeah, some of the zeitgeist was definitely slipping into my writing!! Nice to have a gold compass, since I never, ever thought I would win one.
Thank you for the rep ChickPea. Always greatly appreciated!
Aw, thanks Abu!
Happy Birthday ChickPea, have a wonderful day!
Thanks (again ) for the rep ChickPea, it's always greatly appreciated! Yes, it's certainly not an easy task to stick with an unfinished map after a challenge...too much fun throwing oneself into the next one.
Thank you for the rep ChickPea, glad you like it!
Hehe I understand procrastinating only too well. It's quite amazing the number of ways I can find to distract myself when I should be mapping! PS I forgot to say, but I love your new avatar.
Hey ChickPea, many thanks for the rep, but even more for all the helpful feedback throughout the process. It's always greatly appreciated! Finally finishing these maps was only the typical procrastinating while being a bit stuck with a challenge map (i think you've heard of that phenomen before?^^).
Thanks!
