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.

Hi there Smadam. I just received your friend's request, and, since I didn't recognize your name, decided to check out your profile page. I tend to be a bit more reserved about my "friends" list as many people in that I would only like to "friend" people that I actually know fairly well and whose opinion I respect. That said, I'm curious to know a bit more about yourself, what your interest here at the Guild is, and why you chose to send me a friends request. Cheers, -Arsheesh
