Hi! I'm new to map making and though have been a lurker around here for some time, decided to give it a whirl! I am a fiction writer (not published, sadly) and after many years of making my fantasy world maps with colored pencils and graph paper, figured it was time to discover better ways of going about it. I have one map that I am currently working on and a few I am still toying with. I have already put some of the knowledge I've found here to good use with it and am pleased to say that it is quite nice for a start. Now, I boldly go forward with CS4 as my sword, CC3 as my shield, and Cartographer's Guild as my armor!
