Group:
The Storyteller Squad
Short Description:
Join us as we discuss strategies for making places like small rural towns, national parks, & urban cities feel just as epic & emotionally important to your players as classic high fantasy settings.
Long Description:
Leave behind the storied coastline of the Forgotten Realms, the war-torn galaxy far far away, and the neon drenched streets of Night City. Instead, join us as we discuss how you can make places like Pecatonica Illinois, Maple Falls Washington and Atlantic City New Jersey feel just as epic and important to your players. There can be a surprising amount of logistics, research, and lore to develop even when your story takes place in a very familiar world. Our panelists will share stories about the real world places they've turned into the backdrop for their players' adventures, and discuss their process for adapting real world locations for tabletop play.
