I’m no cartographer, but I enjoy playing with their tools, much like my toddler enjoys playing with my hammer and screwdrivers. Only difference is that when I drop Photoshop on my foot, it doesn’t hurt quite so much.
So yes, my skills are lacking, but I’ve nevertheless managed to create a prototype map of the region that’s been invaded and occupied by giant spiders. The labels are all mine (and I’ll go into what they represent later this week), but the basic land mass was randomly generated using this online Polygon Map Generation tool. The tool’s a blast to play with, and creates relatively realistic land masses, so I’d definitely recommend using it at least as a starting point for your own world-building projects.
