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.

Works in Progress

These are all works in progress (or total rejects) for a campaign I was writing that has since mutating into a campaign setting. Similar to the myriad cosmology my Horizon cosmology consists of many many worlds grouped into clusters and constellations. Planes exist within planes and...it is getting, admittedly, rather large and complicated. The maps are basic and designed o have the players scratch notes on after they have been handed out. I want to do more ornate versions but I'm still trying to find a system that works for me.
