Did you build a world but it felt really empty? Did you play a game and there was literally nothing outside the quest areas? Did your DnD players ask what type of trees there are in the forest? Join this lecture and you will figure out how and with what you could fill out all those worlds with! And once they are filled… How are your players or book characters going to survive in it? This lecture has a lot of talk about trees, some cute animals, survival tips for adventurers and ideas for what to fill your caves with! With examples from the real world and fantasy worlds told by a professional geographer!
