Hello everyone

[Eilathen]

Thanks guys, for the warm welcome

@ ravells - I try to scan the map i have lying around as soon as i have access to a working scanner, promise.

@ pyrandon - lol...your words in god's ear (a saying in german, don't know if it makes sense in english ^^ ) ... some of those computer-tools seem to be very difficult (Photoshop for exmaple) and such a lot of work to get into...well at least from my perspective...but maybe i am a bit computer-lazy But i will read the tutorials you have on here an who knows, maybe I will get into it...

Welcome! The phrase translates well into English as "From your lips to God's ear."

Photoshop and other graphics suites can, indeed, be intimidating, but they're well worth learning, and you can learn quite a bit by just fooling around with them. And if you don't have the cash to lay out for Photoshop, take a look at the Gimp: a freeware paint and photo editing program--lots of folks in these parts use it very successfully.

Great! And don't forget to request a tutorial or ask anytime you need help!

Welcome Eilathan. I'm sure you''ll find exactly what you are looking for here, just ask. You mentioned your novell preferences, I just started getting into Steven Erikson and I'm loving it. Great stories, but IMHO he should have browsed around here before adding the maps to the beginning of the books, and maybe got Ravs or Pyrandon to do them

Welcome, Eilathen!

Welcome to the group. With the plethora of computer mapping aids out there, you will certainly find one that suits your needs.

Thanks guys
I have CC2 on my computer but so far I haven't gotten around to acctually finish a map with it. As i said...i am computer-lazy

@ Torq - lol...yeah, they both would have done a more sophisticated map, i am sure. But i still think Erikson has nice maps in comparison to 95% of the other books...i am still amazed that there are so many fantasy-books out there which don't have a map at all. I mean come on, how can you try to "sell" me a new and foreign world without giving me a map... *shakes head*
