Over at the site of e-book distributor DriveThru Fiction, the spotlight is often shone on books that management believes should get more attention, and they do it by offering them as a Deal of the Day, in which an e-book is made available at a special one-day discount. Well, it just so happens that StarWarp Concepts has a book that’s become today’s Deal of the Day, and it’s perfect for budding authors and roleplaying game masters alike:
Terra Incognito: A Guide to Building the Worlds of Your Imagination is our popular how-to book for writers and gamers in which bestselling fantasy author Richard C. White (Gauntlet: Dark Legacy: Paths of Evil, The Chronicles of the Sea Dragon Special, For a Few Gold Pieces More, Troubleshooters, Incorporated: Night Stalkings) takes you through the step-by-step process of constructing a world for your characters, from societies and governments to currency and religion.
A bonus feature of Terra Incognito is an exclusive 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.
Originally intended as a guide for writers, almost right from its publication Terra Incognito became a book that’s become so popular with gamers that it’s currently being used as a textbook in the Interactive Media & Game Development program at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worchester, Massachusetts!
