Since this is the obligatory "Hi I'm new!" post, I thought I would just do the simple introduction.
I am new to map making, I have been interested in it since the days of the Amiga computer (played with VistaPro, not that it is a map making program). It wasn't until I got into a serious gaming group that I began to really want to learn how to make maps. I admit I am here so I can learn to make maps and worlds for myself, my friends, and our games and sci-fi/fantasy stories.
What I have read so far, I have a lot to learn.
