Anna B Meyer used to roam in and over the northern reaches of Europe and her native Sweden. Nowadays her deeds are carried out in warm and sunny southern California.

Anna’s an old school roleplayer who began to play D&D in the early days just before the original Red Box came out. While her first session didn’t make her a gamer, she saw the potential in roleplaying and her passion for the hobby grew quickly afterward. Her DM back then had made his own world and to Anna it was like magic – she wanted to have her own world but didn’t know where to begin. A few years later the Greyhawk box came out and after reading a few pages there was no turning back – she fell in love with the setting and has been running games on Oerth ever since. Maps have always fascinated her and so did the map which came with the box. Swept away by its beauty, Darlene’s work inspired Anna to read and create lots of adventures over the years.

For the past twenty years Anna has worked on her Greyhawk mapping project as a hobby, gradually spanning the entire Flanaess. What started as a dabble all those years ago is now a full time occupation, and her maps are now used by thousands of gamers around the world. In 2001, she moved to California and decided to make her Fantasy Cartography hobby into a professional pursuit.

Anna has played every edition of D&D and tried many other Role-Playing games her favorite genre remains fantasy. Her last Greyhawk Campaign was set in the Rel Deven area in CY598 using the Pathfinder RPG rules, and she has played in both Pathfinder organized play and two other Pathfinder campaigns as well as one D&D 5th Edition game.”
