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.

Another old school gamer looking for some mapping aids
Hello and thanks for making this site available. I have joined up because I am interested in using my computer to draw some maps for use in a longstanding 2ed. AD&D campaign. I have typically used large graph paper to draw my maps and a battle map for use on game night. Any suggestions for good and reliable mapping software is appreciated. I am not a techie, so if it is too complicated then I won't understand how to use it. Thanks for your support.
