RobA
In your ancient but always the best tutorial on making regional maps (I'll find the link and put it at the bottom) you mention using a certain gimp script for making (I think) a type of blur or offset. I have reread all 15 pages (at 40 posts per) today twice, and I must be going blind. ANy idea which one I moight be referring to? It wasnt one of your own i dont think, which is why I am having trouble finding it.
(I'll come back with the tut link in question shortley)

EDIT: The Link
http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?1142-Award-Winner-Using-GIMP-to-Create-an-Artistic-Regional-RPG-Map

EDIT: Answered my own question. Felimage Noise FIlter

As always, we all apreciate you and all your efforts here!

Yeah, I found the picture at Daz3D galleries. I ROTFLMAO when I saw it and thought it'd make a nice avatar. The artist titled it "It's Never That Easy."
