#1 Kalex_the_Omen Dec 12, 2011 10:58:13	I am slowly developing a campaign setting for my next campaign.  I expect to start the campaign in approximately a year, and while most of the tasks for creating this setting I am more than capable of performing, mapping is an exception. I am the proud owner of Dundjinni which I love to use for dungeon and tactical maps, and the entire suite of Campaign Cartographer 3 tools.  My problem is with the later product.  For whatever reason, I am unable to wrap my head around how Campaign Cartographer works.  I've been trying for years and I am just no good at it.  What I am looking for is a resource to work with me in creating the maps I need for this campaign setting. I have tried the Cartographer's Guild and they have been less than welcoming due to the large size of my project, and the requirement of using the ProFantasy tools.  I don't expect to be able to get this work done for free, and I would be willing to pay modest amounts per map over time to get the work done. Does anyone know where I can find such a resource, or is anyone aware of a tool that is easier to understand/use so I can do the work myself? If anyone knows a Campaign Cartographer cartograhper-for-hire, or is willing to do the work themselves please let me know.

You might also want to check out the Annuals... they have some walkthroughs that seem pretty helpful. I just started myself, and it is a lot to toss around, but I'm confident that practice will make perfect.
