Hello all. I am trying my hand at map making as i have worked out a new homebrew RPG system. In order to flesh out some details regarding races, places, etc. I wanted to see exactly where these things would be in my world.

I have GIMP 2.8 and HAVE no experience with this sort of thing. I have watched many tutorial videos regarding Atlas maps and thing that this would be simple enough to practice making. Until I get a good feel for the program.

if there is any tips, tricks, advice anyone can offer me this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
