Howdy, All. When I registered I was encouraged to post here, so...

I cannot over-emphasize what a delight it was to find this site. I'm now an old guy, but used to play RPGs back in the day and still dabble by reading mostly GURPS and CoC products, though not playing. I've always had a vague interest in mapping, originally stemming from the RPG thing as a young-un, then reinforced by an interest in military history (I'm a 20-year Army veteran), and also by my enthusiastic hiking hobby (I currently live in Colorado).

Now, following some of the simpler tutorials here, I'm working on what I consider to be outstanding some maps. (I'm certain that they are pathetic by your standards, but I'm thrilled.) I've started a project on a terraformed Venus, and I have a question posted in "How Do I…" about it. I'm certain that my career will slow progress on it to a crawl, but I'm happy puttering around with it in spare moments.
