Dobritt.  She was one of the cartographers who worked on the Forgotten Realms Interactive Atlas, a very cool lady (and she responded to my e-mail)!Kaleon Moonshae:  A fellow draftsman!  Welcome!  I know what you mean about not being able to use your skills, nobody uses manual drafting anymore  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />   I've always loved the sensation of putting pen to paper, and I'll never give up my drafting desk  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> ...but AutoCAD definitley makes it go quicker!  To be honest, I'd like to see your world; it sounds cool as hell!</blockquote>
