The November issue of the Cartographer’s Annual 2024 is now available. This month we have a new town or local area map style for you, Satellite Streets. It takes the idea of a satellite/aerial view of a real-world area, like you would see on a modern web-based map application and gives you the tools to create your own fictional one, using City Designer 3 tools. The style is ideal for villages or small towns in modern settings. Real-world maps can easily be used by importing them as a background. The 4-page mapping guide takes you through creating a Satellite Streets map in a few easy steps.

The November issue can now be downloaded by all subscribers from their registration page. If you haven’t subscribed to the Annual 2024 yet, you can do so here.

We are very happy to have another beautiful style by Pär Lindström in this year’s Cartographer’s Annual, with this month’s Parchment City style. Based on Pär’s work on a 19th century map of Stockholm, the style is very easy and quick to use thanks to to whole city blocks and symbols. You can hen dive in and add special landmarks and individual pieces at your leisure. Of course the accompanying mapping guide tells you how to do all that.

The April issue of the Cartographer’s Annual 2022 brings you a modern, tactical map style for those secret missions or clandestine investigations in enemy lands. Inspired by real-world maps from the first half of the 20th century, the style allows you to quickly and easily create local area overviews.

A pure vector style, Tactical Maps comes with two complete sets of tools and symbols, one for imperial measurements and the other for metric. Macro drawing tools and hatch styles allow the easy drawing of complex patterns, the use of house and random street options make adding buildings quick and painless, and the 5-page mapping guide ties it all together.

The April issue of the Cartographer’s Annual 2019 is available now. Between dusky bookshelves, rickety doors and moldy armchairs, Pär Lindström’s new style “Moody Mansions” is perfect for creating building floorplans for horror- or mystery-themed adventures and stories.

Whether your players are investigating that haunted house on the hill, or your story revolves around that last lonely occupant of a deteriorating home, the “Moody Mansions” style will create a matching map.

New Zealand is one of the most avid sailing nations of the world and while traveling along it beautiful coasts I often came across marine charts detailing the waterways.

The vector style “Marine Maps” let’s you recreate navigational marine charts within CC3+. With three dozen news symbols and drawing tools and a 5-page mapping guide it’s snap to produce a detailed picture of your real or fictional coastline.

We are very happy to release another great Annual issue by Pär Lindström. Originally designed for the adventure collection Mythos Expeditions by Pelgrane Press, the style came out too beautiful to not make it into an Annual issue.

Quick and easy to use the Modern Journeys style lets you whip up a gorgeously illustrated maps in minutes. Choose from 150 Symbols to depict your locations, show the travel routes and identify the mode of transportation used.
