    Post Hello from a lurker.

    Hi there. I've been lurking around for a while now looking at all the great work on the boards, and I thought I'd say a quick hello.

    I'm afraid I'm no kind of artist, so my own output is a bit on the shaky side, but I've always loved maps and always feel driven to find good representations of any game worlds that I play in (I found my way here by following a trail from Anna's wonderful WIP, the Atlas of the Flanaess).

    I've already been able to produce a simple map of my own for our home game, using info in the many tutorials posted or linked to here, so maybe with time I'll be able to turn out maps that I can be happy with

    For now, I thought I'd hang around, read, practice, and maybe even take part in your monthly challenges....

    Welcome SpamValiant (and I like the name). I think the most important thing is to put aside self-consciousness and just post. Its the best way to go through the process and also the best way to ensure you get accurate advice that is specific to you.

    In addition to the monthly challenge have a look at the collaborative world building project. Both are great places to learn and get to know others on this board.

    Enjoy.

    Greetings and Welcome to the Guild. I second Torq in saying that you really can just put aside any shyness and just post up what you have and let the advice flow. I was a bit reluctant to post something up when I first started visiting the boards, but my worries were soon diminished by the great advice and friendly people... so happy mapping

    Welcome SpamValiant! As the others said, just post. There is really no such thing as a 'bad' map.
