Announcement and Weekly Chat
Call for posts: Software reviews for any software that may be used for mapping. If you use any software that may be used to make a map and are willing to write up a review that includes pros/cons, a description of the learning curve, and at least one link to helpful website, please comment below.
Every week from this point onward, I will create a post for general chatter.
Rules
1. Be considerate and polite.
2. For now, any topic is acceptable. That said, this is a world-building community.
3. I (or any mod, once we have more than one) may ask participants in a particularly interesting conversation to create a write-up for wider community enjoyment. Participants may say no.
4. Trolling and ad hom attacks will lead to the thread being frozen and a warning. Three warnings and you will be banned.
5. The first comment of any thread should have a clear topic identifying the subject.

And, hey, before you start putting in the terrain/etc, you may want to check out the Climate Cookbook. http://web.archive.org/web/20080521055644/www.cix.co.uk/~morven/worldkit/climate.html

Though I am ashamed to say that the first thing I thought of when I saw the word "Boeshane" was Doctor Who/Torchwood....
