Welcome to the Cartographers Guild. A Fantaseum Alliance Website.
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.

The Cartographers' Guild is a friendly, open community, welcoming to everyone who pursues cartographic excellence. We love to share our maps, to help one another improve our maps, and to pool our mapping resources. Please enjoy your visit, and feel free to join our ranks!

There's some great textures in there, like...

Haibianr is a Hong Kong-like city that serves as the introduction to an Asian-themed campaign setting that guild member mearrin69 is building. The first version of the map was handdrawn. Then mearrin69 tried out several different styles, ultimately leading to the map that we can enjoy today. It turned out great. The city looks convincing and the...

The Vintyri (TM) Project has released a new tool for quickly filling Fractal Mapper (TM) 8 town maps with complete city blocks with full quality raster graphics. This expansion pack for the Fractal Mapper (TM) 8 version of the Vintyri Cartographic Collection consists of 168 symbol presets. These objects can be edited directly in FM8. The symbol presets have special abilities and special limitations that normal symbols do not have. Therefore, we strongly urge all interested users to download the free and open 28-page PDF that accompanies this release before downloading the four ZIP files with symbol presets. These ZIPs have a size of 55 to 65 MB each for a total of 244 MB. Therefore, it would be helpful to understand these special abilities and limitations before making the large downloads. To download the illustrated and bookmarked PDF (3.2 MB) and the symbol presets, go to the Cartographic Collection option at:

This material is released under the Open Game License version 1.0a. Please note that because this set contains no JPG or PNG graphics, it cannot be used with other mapping or graphical programs. It can be opened and edited only with FM8.
We will be doing a series of articles on cartography for rpg.net. While they can feature CC3 and other ProFantasy products, they should also be of general interest to other rpg players. If you think you could produce such an article, please email me, simonwork@profantasy.com.
