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.

I'm planning on taking a break from commissions through June once I finish my current batch so I can catch up on other stuff I've been neglecting. I wanted to take this on, however, so I can make some maps outside of my usual range...experiment and explore a bit. For some reason I seem to need a purpose to make these. I think my mom used to go on about people wasting their time on hobbies so I feel like I need a "reason"
