Howdy and salutations. I felt I should sign up here since I am wading into the world of cartography by way of CC3 and DD3. I've had an interest in maps for a long time but I never really knew how to get started with them - after a few tutorials though I'm able to make nifty dungeons for my games now, so that's something, at least!

I was wondering - do people do cartography professionally (in the context of role playing games, etc.) or is it considered to be folded into another job such as overall game design, general artwork, and the like? It would be neat to be able to come up with maps and be able to use them in a commercial product, but maybe that is just a pipe dream far off in the horizon.

Anyway, glad to be here. Cheers
