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.

Ramah, I always forget how big those PSD files get. A website like Megaupload.com or Sizablesend.com can email up to 1 or 2 GB I believe. No idea what size your map is, so no clue if its in that range. So if that doesn't work, I would love a blank map without any towns, cities, countries, etc. Adding those kinds of details is not difficult. Its not the flexibility of having the whole file open to tinkering, but its more than enough for my purposes I think. Thanks for being so willing to share your work. I appreciate it.
In reference to your beautiful Vaniya map you wrote P.s. - I'm not sure what use anyone could get out of this other than me, but if you feel the need then knock yourself out. Just consider it under the usual CC copyright thingymajig that people bang on about around here. Well, I have a use for it. It would a perfect starting point for a D&D campaign I am looking to run. Dungeon Mastering I do well, map making I do not. As such though, I would like to be able to tweak things, add notes, etc. Would it be possible to get the original photoshop file? Working with layers would be easier than editing with the jpeg, but I can do that if need be. Thanks,
