Hi all

I had this forum in my bookmarks for quite a while but never did much until I got sent here to look for RobA's map tutorial.

I like to draw maps and scan them in. I've dabbled with drawing, scanning, and Gimp for a while, then I got interested in writing a program that would produce SVG output based on an ASCII map, realized that this was not going to work out, and then I decided to just use Inkscape as-is, going back to old maps and keeping grouped trees and hills as a little library of map elements. The reason being that I've had quite a lot of success using mixed Inkscape and scanned drawing maps in my current campaign.

Anyway, that's my mapping-introduction.

Now go and draw some maps.
