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.

Haha, often, out of curiosity, i sadly can't stay "zen" enough to resist digging too deep through the gianormous heaps of bull**** (on my doorsteps and around the world). Some time ago i had a situation where i was researching some stuff that left me screaming like a madmen in front of my screen and i remembered this wonderful scene from Network. So i just put together this pic to maybe use it one day as a screen(and mind-)saver or something. Last weekend i was again in a similar kind of "mood" and tried to express it in this more subtle way than i did some times before in my life... (uploading pics to a forum account is certainly not as itchy in the eyes) Well, if the anger rises with the bull**** level to unbearable heights, it's great for me to have this wonderful escapist strategy to draw maps of imaginative places, or, to once more borrowing John's phrase, to "imagine better worlds"
