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.

I saw an old episode of the tv show " Kung Fu", where David Carradine's character Kane (Caine?) made a bet that he could walk through a pit of snakes without getting bit so that he could save a man from being brought back to the town to be hanged. The other men were terrified of the snakes and would not dare walk through the pit, but Kane climbed in and did it without getting bit and without disturbing any of the snakes.
