Reviews

[Talitha Kalago · Rating 5 out of 5]

World Building Tips is a non fiction book for writers, game developers and role players on creating a complete and complex original fiction setting.

The author is an accomplished game designer and fantasy novelist, with years of experience in designing creative and innovative settings. It helps that she is also a brilliant teacher, so the book is laid out in an easy to understand format, with logical, well writing segments.

I consider this book an invaluable tool in my arsenal and strongly recommend it to anyone who is designing a fictional setting for any reason.
