Creating Fictional Maps?

9 Upvotes

Hi folks. I'm a newbie to the QGIS software, as well as CAD in general. I'm fairly tech and art savvy and am eager to dig into this to create fictional, precise, scalable maps for table-top roleplaying games. I'm wondering if anybody has any links for useful tutorials or tips and tricks to that end; I'm of course consulting YouTube University to educate myself, but I don't know what I don't know and I always love to consult communities for help and stand upon the shoulders of giants who've come before, so to speak.

What I'm interested in creating specifically is a modern-ish (think 1930's) city map, including roads, buildings, parks, tram lines, and canals/waterways, all to scale and built from scratch. I want to use this program specifically to create something that could be a serviceable artefact from a city that *could* have existed, and most of the map-making software I've seen that's geared towards gaming is more of the fantastical variety, or battle maps, for which I presently have no use.

Any advice or assistance is appreciated, and I thank you in advance!
