Introduction

So happy this name wasn't taken already...kind of surprised too!

I am calling this blog Maker of Worlds because I wish to focus in on two areas of the game world that only video game designers, fiction writers, and turbo-nutters like me care about: Making a world you play in believable. Now, this may seem like an odd topic for a blog, but I want to look at this concept through both my main gaming loves, role-playing and wargaming.

For role-playing, this will take on the concepts of GM-ing and all the detail needed to bring material written by other people alive for your players. It will likely delve into preparation, plotlines, seeding material for the future, and a range of other topics that if forgotten will often drive a good campaign (or a good GM) into the dirt. If I get really ambitious, I may do something on starting from scratch, but we shall see.

For wargaming, this is the hobby itself...painting, modeling, converting and most especially terrain building. Nothing says bring game than week after week of books for hills and bottles for rock columns. I will try to provide step by step guidelines for certain projects either with pics or video where appropriate and where I have time.

As with all of my gaming material, if there is a topic you'd like to see covered, please let me know and I will try to cover it myself or find someone who is able to do so.
