What got you into cartography?
For me, like I guess many others, it was the maps in the Lord of the Rings. I got the third book first (the others were delayed) and I vividly remember puring over the map trying to find the locations mentioned in the "what happened so far" section, but couldn't. Of course, because the book in the Return of the King only shows Rohan, Gondor and Mordor.
Because I loved the much higher detail of that map, I went ahead and expanded it myself to cover all the area of the big map. I think I ended up with something like 5x5 sheets of paper. Those hung over my bed for the longest time.

Live Mapping: Black and White Fantasy
Here is the map I created in last night live mapping session. Sue was so kind to also supply her updated sea texture for the style (which tiles properly). Replace the files in /Bitmaps/Tiles/Overland/Annual BW Fantasy/ with the attached PNGs to use them.

Your favourite settings? (worlds)
Same here. :D While I haven't played in it in a long time, my favourite setting is still my own world of Jhendor, which I developed in the late eighties and used for my games for 20 years.
