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.

I would be honored if you would read my first book. I would be obliged if you could left an honest review. Here you will appreciate the great map i had made through this guild! Enjoy! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XPHPKJ9

Even before this update I have used it to generate quite dense point clouds of 3D models so this new development sounds interesting indeed. Dont miss the link in there for OpenDroneMap. ...

Also, this map is one of my few encounter maps. I might also add some more of these to my portfolio over time. ...

The inner yard as such is not a problem, but the walls. Oh, the walls... I don’t know why, but I find ...
Hi, I have been mapping the Darklands these past few days. My campaign will be travelling through them and I wanted a visual. Here's what I got so far:
