How to Make a Fantasy Sandbox

Starting in 2009, I wrote a series of 24 posts on the Bat in the Attic blog covering the different aspects of creating a hexcrawl-formatted setting. Over 150,000 views later I have finished the series. Along the way, many of you thanked me for writing the series and told me how it helped your own efforts.

Now that the last post has been completed, I combined and rewrote these posts into a single 150-page book. I also consolidated the small fantasy setting I was using, the Isle of Pyade into its own document that you can drop into your own campaign.

Many of you enjoyed Blackmarsh, Points of Light, and my remastered version of Judges Guild's Wilderlands of High Fantasy. Now with How to Make a Fantasy Sandbox, you can learn the techniques I used to make these settings to make your own world to adventure in.

The project rewards will consist of a digest-sized version of my Blackmarsh setting with a new layout and art. The How to Make a Fantasy Sandbox book and the Isle of Pyade setting book will be available as PDF and Print-on-demand books using at-cost print coupons from DriveThruRPG.

I hope to see you at the launch of my Kickstarter on Friday, October 13, 2023.

This one looks reasonably priced, still not sure I'm in to spend more money on resources I already own in other forms. Many books and texts written over the decades that purport to teach how to make a campaign of all kinds, but the reality is the work we put in individually. If the motivation isn't there then there is nothing actually produced.

The thing is I have been doing my own version of that for 48+ years and counting. So I have no need of it. But if you are starting out it is a great starting place at a fair price. Although you could just go read his blog posts that are being collected for this book.

Looks like a good product for young people who did not grow up with old school gaming.
