Show Notes
Creation Corner: Rhett kicks off a new extended series within our larger Creation Corner set to talk specifically about worldbuilding. This week is a first as he welcomes special guest Logan to the Stack o' Dice table.
Logan is working on Vígríðr, a homebrewed world based heavily on Norse mythology. We talk about some of his challenges, motivations, and joys in the process.
During the conversation we bring up several mentions of resources that may be of interest to D&D enthusiasts on both sides of the screen. Here they are, with links:
- Amon Amarth's Twilight of the Thunder God for inspiration while writing and planning (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edBYB1VCV0k)
- Brandon Sanderson's works, with an emphasis on his Cosmere series (https://www.amazon.com/s?k=brandon+sanderson&crid=26GFHWGN5BBJW)
- Joe Abercrombie's First Law series (https://www.amazon.com/First-Law-Trilogy-Joe-Abercrombie/dp/0316361194/)
- Optional rules for Honor and Sanity in D&D 5e (http://dnd-5e.herokuapp.com/optionalrule/new-ability-scores-honor-and-sanity)
- The Beard Struggle for beard care (https://www.thebeardstruggle.com/discount/LOLOVIKING20)
