I hope your weekend was a good one. It's time for Monday Mentionables: Links for #writers & #readers.
Today's links are all about map making/cartography
I want to create a map for the Max Hamby series, but I've been a little apprehensive to give it a go.
So, instead of sitting down and drawing one out, I was going through Google links yesterday looking for info, tutorials, programs, etc. There's some decent info out there. I figured some of you might be as interested in this subject as I am.
I also came across a software company/site that looks really interesting and if I could go with their software instead of drawing it by hand, I would. I, especially, like their campaign cartographer 3 and their city designer. (No, I'm not an affiliate. Their software looks fun and easy.)
