Episode 213 Worldbuilder's Guide to Fantasy Map Ma

Today's Topic The start to our Worldbuilder's Guide to Fantasy Map Making

Making maps is a passion of mine. So Michael and I thought it was about time that we look how to create fictional fantasy maps.

Now if you have followed the show long enough you would know that I am a believer of preparing before you plunge into a new area of worldbuilding.

So whether you how to draw a fantasy map by hand or like me, you love to use software like Campaign Cartographer 3+.
