[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 5923151, member: 50895"] Honestly, most publishers don't pay more than $50 a map - and that's pro work for the industry. Some publishers pay more (WotC and Paizo, for example), but most everybody else can't afford to pay that. I've done a map for Paizo (City of Minkai, Jade Regent #6), so I know. And I've done maps for small publishers too. Heck for my own Kaidan maps (my published setting) - I don't even get $50 a map. And I know for a fact that some Cartographers' Guild members have done free maps for individuals in the past - however, if you want it free, it might take a couple weeks before you get a mapper to bite. If you offer some minimum amount like $20, you will get a response sooner. The CG gets requests like this all the time, and maps get done... If you were pro publisher, a mapper would expect to be paid more - depending on who the mapper is. But an individual needn't expect to pay high prices for a home game map. It would help if you could create a crude version of your map concept, scan it and email that to your mapper and it would help to figure out that it's a thousand miles across some region, so the mapper can more precisely scale the map for you. Have some idea, anyway. [/QUOTE]
