    Default I'm new, please don't hurt me =)

    Hello folks

    I am new and hope to get some tips here. I tried to do some mapping last year and tested some software, but I am not very skilled with drawing programs. I decided to do something with autorealm and, while nowhere near the quality I have seen here, it was a great result for someone that cannot draw a straight line to save his life. So, summing up, I hope to contribute and learn.

    We're here to help. The best way to get help is to make a start on drawing a map and post it up in the WIP section. Usually lots of people pitch in with suggestions on how to make the map look better in a polite and constructive way.

    So what are you waiting for? Post those autorealm maps!!

    Look, It's a new guy, let's get HIM!

    Oh wait, that's a different site..

    Welcome aboard. Don't worry about drawing a straight line because there really aren't very many of those in nature. Actually, everything is made up of dots which anyone can draw. Well, sure, you do have to connect them into various shapes and whatnots but the point is just give it your best shot. Most of us here are pretty helpful so I'm sure you will get better if you stick to it.

    Like me, I'm learning heaps....now if I could just figure out what of I'd be set
