So I’m just going to do a mini round-up of fantasy map resources. I researched this quite a bit when I was making my map, pictured here. My map still isn’t geographically correct. It might change a little or become more detailed, but for now, it suits me. I need to add in scale. Deserts […]

So basically, if you have rules and explain your magic system then it’s a hard magic system. If you don’t explain anything and stuff […]
