Thread: Hello

    Default Hello

    My name is Tom Clarke and I'm a relatively new GM who would like to learn to make fantasy maps, at least basic ones. So far having looked around it appears one needs a first class engineers license or qualifications as a rocket scientist to get anywhere... baffled much?

    *LOL*

    Hi Tom, and welcome to the Guild. Don't worry, most of it really is just good old trial and error -- and patience. *grinds teeth* So... much... patience. You just try out new things in Photoshop or GIMP, and with some time and effort really just your imagination is the limit. And if you have questions: ask! We don't bite. Mostly.

    It appears that way at first glance, but dig a little deeper and you'll note that you just need a pen and something to draw on. Windows tend not to take ink to well but your kitchen cupboards would work in a pinch...

    Welcome to the Guild and don't be afraid to get started... and share your stuff... a lot!

    cheers

    Well, that's what I've been doing, that and just grabbing JPG's everywhere and modifying the game to fit (and Yes, I know it isn't right but there's no money involved, just several friends playing a game).
    Ennywho, I was looking for an easier/better result method. Mebbe I'll find that here, or not....
