Welcome!
The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Hello!
. I'm so excited to be on these forums! I've been lurking around the site for a good while now, but I've never really bothered to join before. I do a bit of cartography if a mood strikes me, but nothing as extravagant as what you all have shared. Lately though, and especially since I've started reading G.R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, I've been in SUCH a mood to make maps! I particularly wanted to tackle a portion of Westeros (a continent in the series). I noticed someone else here has made one and it is absolutely stunning!
