    Post Hello!

    I've been interested in mapping for awhile, but it was the thought of DMing a campaign for the first time since 2000 with some poorly hand-drawn maps that got me to DL Gimp and check the Guild out! I'm looking forward to learning just how to do that here.

    Welcome to the Guild Solo! Look forward to seeing your first WIP map post. Best way to learn the ropes is to practice, and to receive advice and constructive criticism from experienced mappers.

    Cheers,

    Thanks everyone! I'm almost done with my first attempt (thanks RobA and Arsheesh for the great tutorials), and will post it as soon as I finish touching it up.
