Heya all,

I'm new here, and know next to nothing about making maps. Yet. I recently bought an introduction book and I'm looking forward to just get started somewhere. I would really like to learn more about styles of maps, drawn from real-life. What was a map like made in the middle ages? What about one made in the 19th century? Which ones do we often see in fantasy?

What brought me here was not my own passion, actually, but a gift my RP buddies want to give our GM: a beautiful map of the world we have been playing in. I realise there are some rules before I'm allowed to post a ask in the proper channel, I'll have a look around until I know how to do it all according to the rules.

Thank you for reading this far, and I look forward to reading more about map making!
