Welcome!
The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Of the active posters here I'd say about 5-10% are using the Bamboo and another 15% are using others tablets all combined. The Bamboo is the most prevalent, I think. This is all pure guesstimate but there are quite a few. I would say, and so would just about any other here, to go for it but just make sure that you practice a lot with it or else you will be left feeling less than enthused. There's a lot of ins and outs to figure out so it takes time but within a month of constant use you should be just fine.
