Thanks! I'm glad someone is reading this thread
As no one has been posting with comments are questions I was worried this exercise was for naught. Now is the time - any question? Post them here! I wil be adding any clarification that people ask for in an edited version that at some point will be set up as a single file PDF for download.

Oh, no, I have been reading and building on this thread on my own. I'm currently doing a lot of world building with my gaming group to prep for the release of D&D 4.0. And this tutorial was how I got them to start sketching out the areas as we discussed them.
I'm hoping to provide a few examples once I've had the change to get something finished.
This is my first post to this forum, let me assure you that this excersize is not a waste. I have gotten through the first two PDF and have learned some interesting techniques. I will be applying them to how I create textures for Planets in Spacescapes as well.
I hope to post something of a map from your tut soon. I just want to make my own rather than the provided sketch.
Thanks for this tutorial!

I just downloaded and installed GIMP today. I'm looking forward to using your tutorial as a learning tool. It's the best way to learn the features of any software package.
Thank you for your time and effort!! I'm looking forward to digging in.
Make sure everyone gives RobA some rep over this!

RobA - Fantastic and thanks. All of us GIMP noobies really appreciate the time and effort that went into this.
Quick question: Where is Pyandon's city map tutorial? I can't find it...
Uhmm how? I would love to give him some rep.. for his work and the fact that he's from Ontario! Makes me homesick.
Rob,Thanks! I'm glad someone is reading this thread

Just so you know your tutorial is still being used today. I'm an old pencil, and paper mapper. Now I got to learn this new fangled computer mapping. Imagine my joy at finding such a clear and useful tutorial.
Thank you very much,
Starving
