Included is an interview with New York Times bestselling author Tracy Hickman (Dragonlance) that discusses his methods of world building, as well as his creative experiences during his time as a designer for gaming company TSR, the original home of Dungeons & Dragons.
Meanwhile, over at Rich’s blog, he recently posted the conclusion of a two-part reminiscense about how he applied his knowledge of world building to a steampunk fantasy project called “The Dark Codex,” for another publisher.
That’s not all the good news, though! Last month, Rich started “World Building 101,” a brand-new column on the subject, at online magazine Black Gate. And according to the publisher, Rich’s first entry, “The Village,” was the most popular article on the site for the month of October!
