Creation Corner - Worldbuilders with Pat

Creation Corner: It's said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Maps are a cornerstone of fantasy settings, and they can be useful tools for building worlds. In this episode, we talk with Pat (@mountain_foot on Twitter, @pate on Discord), a Stacker and dungeon cartographer who creates and uses maps extensively in his own gaming work. Join us for a fascinating talk about how to use maps to build game worlds! In our talk, Pat mentions several resources of interest. If you're interested in doing more with maps, be sure to check out: The Ammassalik maps - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammassalik_wooden_maps Cyclic Dungeon Generation - https://sersavictory.itch.io/cyclic-dungeon-generation One of Pat's node maps and notes for an adventure in his AD&D campaign - https://docs.google.com/document/d/12l674bqBUsZir9nMNkGh6PZl_42TlO7541twfT4mv7I/edit?usp=sharing He also posts many of his maps at https://www.patreon.com/mountainfoot, where almost all of it is available for free. ----- If you're interested in continuing the conversation, you can send your thoughts our way on Twitter, Instagram, or through our Discord server.
