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. Advertising With The Cartographers' Guild Thank you for your interest in advertising with us! As we begin our new ad campaign we're looking forward to helping publishers, software developers, artists, and any other industry professionals or businesses to get their name or link out to the community. If that is your intention, you've come to the right place. The Cartographers’ Guild was founded on April 24th, 2006 by programmer and fantasy cartography enthusiast Robbie Powell. In six short years it has grown into the premiere place online for fantasy cartographers to interact and share their craft. From experienced mapmaking to novel game world development, the members of the Cartographer’s Guild have it covered. The website is home to some of the most popular tutorials and user-contributed galleries of fantasy and sci-fi maps on the Internet. The high-quality, comprehensive content coverage attracts not only hobbyists, but also a number of industry professionals. These include publishers, software developers, and artists. The Cartographers’ Guild attracts 63,000 unique visitors per month and has recently increased its presence on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. We have over 40,000 registered members of which over 2,500 are active content and discussion contributors. In fact, there are over 47 Gigabytes of content posted on the site to date. A quick sampling of content will reveal tutorials, map gallery posts, mapping resources, and a broad range of reference material. Consistent user contribution is evident in monthly as well as semi-monthly mapping challenge contest entries.
