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.

Thanks Valtharius. Yes, I too love and miss Oregon, even though I am currently living in New Zealand (arguably one of the worlds most beautiful nations). Cheers, -Arsheesh
Excellent artistry and cartography. I like deep, rich colors you use. I grew up on the southern Oregon Coast many, many moons ago. Love Oregon!
Thanks for your feedback on my map of Lothgar. By the way, I just visited your flash site for Argontath and was really impressed. I'm in the process of building my own campaign world as well, so I appreciate all the love and labor that goes into a project like this. Also, I too have an interest in the medieval period, though I'm not as knowledgeable about the history as I'd like to be. I've studied a bit of Aquinas's work and a smidgeon of Scotus as well. At some point I'd like to make a point of better acquainting myself with the history of the period. Cheers, -Arsheesh
