 How to Make a Fantasy SandboxStarting in 2009, I wrote a series of 24 posts on the Bat in the Attic blog covering the different aspects of creating a hexcrawl-formatted setting. Over 150,000 views later I have finished the series. Along the way, many of you thanked me for writing the series and told me how it helped your own efforts. batintheattic.blogspot.com/2009/08/how-to-make-fantasy-sandbox.htmlNow that the last post has been completed, I combined and rewrote these posts into a single 150-page book. I also consolidated the small fantasy setting I was using, the Isle of Pyade into its own document that you can drop into your own campaign. Many of you enjoyed Blackmarsh, Points of Light, and my remastered version of Judges Guild's Wilderlands of High Fantasy. Now with How to Make a Fantasy Sandbox, you can learn the techniques I used to make these settings to make your own world to adventure in. www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/2993/Bat-in-the-Attic-GamesThe project rewards will consist of a digest-sized version of my Blackmarsh setting with a new layout and art. The How to Make a Fantasy Sandbox book and the Isle of Pyade setting book will be available as PDF and Print-on-demand books using at-cost print coupons from DriveThruRPG. I hope to see you at the launch of my Kickstarter on Friday, October 13, 2023. How to Make a Fantasy Sandbox |

I have to confess that when I first saw the title of this thread my thought was, "yeah, none of us here need a KS like that." However, when I saw that it was Rob doing the thing I immediately thought that I need to check the thing out. You do excellent work, Rob, and this is now intriguing me.  |

Backed and eagerly awaiting the Beta PDFs.
One thing I've learned about building worlds is there is always more to learn about building worlds, and Rob is one of the best!

Backed at the $20 level. Stoked to get this in hardcopy! BTW, how is PYADE pronounced? Is it "Pie-Aide" or "Pee-Ahd", or "Pee-yah-deh"? |
