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.

Hey Ilanthar, many thanks for the rep and comments on my latest maps. As written before, your work has always been such a great inspiration to me and everytime i'm very glad to hear you like what i do. ... Oh, and i really need to take a day off to comment and praise properly your latest smaller and bigger projects. I never manage to comment (and rep) as much as i'd like to...
