If you prefer reading your tutorials and follow a pdf guide, there are some great choices too.Ĭampaign Cartographer 3 Plus comes with a pdf Manual, that is probably still one of the best ways to learn the software.

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.Īlthough 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.

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. Obviously you could spend 0 and just use GIMP as well, but I personally find the 50 for Affinity Photo's amazing interface, speed, and live filters to be infinitely worth the investment.

This specific post is full of great/awesome map-making tips, but you might want to poke around the rest of the Cartographer's Guild website for even more great ideas. Affinity Photo is close enough functionally to Photoshop that most of the Photoshop tutorials should be pretty easy to follow along. Don't have Photoshop? Try GIMP.which really deserves it's own entry on Frugal GM. There are a few other tips scattered about, but the focus is mostly on maps and mostly on using computer programs like Photoshop. This week's Free GM Resource is a great.probably awesome, collection of useful tips for creating your own maps. Getting something handed to you usually doesn't help improve your own GM skills, it just helps you prep quickly and/or easily. I know that here I'm quick to point out where you can get some free maps or awesome downloads, which can be great if you are in need of something fast, but sometimes you just want to improve your own creation skills as a GM.
