We are already a good bit into the new year and January, but we still like to take a quick look back at the some of the beautiful maps created by our user community in December.
André Franke created this fantastic map of a hypothetical Antarctica (without the ice) with the help of Fractal Terrain 3, Wilbur and the November Annual issue.

The year is drawing to a close, Dragonmeet is around the corner and – at least for me – the need for christmas presents is beginning to nag at the back of the mind. Sounds like a good time to take a step back and just admire some of the maps produced by the user community this month. As always, it’s just a small selection of the many maps posted on the forum and the Facebook community. Thanks to everyone for sharing!
WeahermanSweden produced this beautiful topographical map of Iceland by importing height data into FT3 and exporting the result into CC3+.

Summer is over, September is getting on and its time to collect another batch of beautiful user maps to highlight. Let’s see what the Profantasy community produced this month!

Dear Cartographers, before we head off to GenCon next week, let’s take a quick look at some beautiful maps that have been posted in the Profantasy community!
Lorelei (Christian Trani) and LoopySue (Sue Daniel) collaborated on the amazing Sanctuary city map. While it has been featured in this series before, it is now fully complete and featured in the Community Atlas project, so we thought it need to be seen again.

May is almost over and it’s time to check out some of the beautiful maps contributed by the community over the last month.
Let’s start with Mark Olsen‘s ingenious map of Xemmirrilth – City of the Dragonborn. The shadow work cleverly shows the vertical layout of the city, telling the viewer clearly that you’re looking at a town built inside crater.

Erik posted this beautiful battle (?) map in the Dungeons of Schley style on the Facebook group. A lovely way to depict the water!
The Master Mapper award has been on hiatus for a few years, but certainly not because of a lack of awesome cartographers out there! It’s our fault due to being busy with other things and not being able to make our mind up who among so many great Campaign Cartographer users we should single out. Well, we are certainly going to change that and start out by awarding the honor to not one, but two deserving mappers! For that we are going back a bit in time …
Master Mapper 2017: Joe Sweeney
Awarding Joe Sweeney the Master Mapper title for one specific year is like saying “D&D was the most popular role-playing game this year” – it’s true, but it doesn’t say much! Joe has been a great asset to the community for years, creating templates, maps, free resources and videos.
As Joe has been supporting the CC user community for ages and we felt it was high-time we properly recognized that contribution.
So we just picked a recent year and declared him Master Mapper of 2017 for:
We can’t thank Joe enough for the support he has provided to the Campaign Cartographer community over the years. You are a true Master Mapper in all meanings of the word!
Master Mapper 2018: Christina Trani
When looking at all the beautiful maps submitted to the community in 2018 we at first felt overwhelmed at all the material. How could we decide on a Master Mapper from among all those great cartographers? But one did indeed stand out when we looked a little closer. There are so many consistently beautiful maps created by Christina Trani (Lorelei on the forum), it became clear to us she is indeed the Master Mapper of 2018.
The Master Mapper award for 2018 goes to Christina for:
Thank you Christina for being such a great part of the Profantasy user community. Please continue amazing us with your beautiful maps and pushing the boundaries of CC3+. Continue being a Master Mapper!
