Art Of World Building 02 Creating Places Randy Ellefson by Randy Ellefson B07518DBQ7 instant download after payment.

Creating Life (The Art of World Building, Volume 1) is a how-to guide on inventing the heart of every imaginary world – life! With chapters on creating gods, species/races, plants, animals, monsters, and even undead, it draws on author Randy Ellefson’s quarter century of world building experience. Simple questions will help readers decide on goals, how to reach them, and whether they are even worth pursuing. Always practical, Creating Life will quickly turn a beginner into an expert, making a time consuming project more fun, easier, and faster.
Ellefson shares his experiences, lessons learned, and insights, including how much of your creations can realistically be mentioned during storytelling, how far creators should go, and what the benefits/risks to each approach might be. Written for storytellers but useful for gamers and hobbyists, The Art of World Building is the first and only book of its kind and includes five free templates, and an original story to demonstrate practical applications.
Whether you’re content to use standard fare like elves, dwarves, and dragons, or determined to strike out on your own, Creating Life will help your setting stand out from the multitude of fantasy and Sci-fi worlds audiences see. Even those who don’t build worlds will also gain a new appreciation for the extraordinary work that goes into so much speculative fiction and games. You may even decide after reading it that you don’t want to build worlds after all...
