Hi,

I am downloading CC3 as I type this. I also have Illustrator & Photoshop (CS3). I am a usability speicalist, and use illustrator to make flows of mobile phone interfaces. But, I'm pretty limited as far as what I can do at this point.

I am also a first time DM. I replicated the dungeons from the DM Guide using Illustrator for my first D&D session but they looked so awful I wanted to find out how to get better map making skills. So, I found this place. I look forward to sharing my attempts with you all and learning from yours.

Looking at fantasy maps does something to me that I can't explain. They fill me with wonder at the possibilities of what they contain. I'm very particular about what I think looks good - and I'm very concerned I won't be able to create it for myself. But, I'm going to give it a try.

I look forward to getting to know you all.
