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.

CompassRose - Mayby ready?
Please do explain what the marks mean. It's obvious they have something to do with navigation....constellations maybe? The central ring(s) look like it would spin, like in Pirates of the Caribbean. Would you mind if I use this for an RPG world of mine? This would work perfectly for the ancient Atilaen culture because I've already figured that they were a seafaring people who wrote in a kind of Kanji style. It's like you tapped into my brain - but then, ya know, visualized and posted it
Heh, thanks.. Some marks that im using in my map. U can use it, im very happy that u like it..
