Powell's Presents: Cody James King in Conversation With Evan Leikam

If you’ve ever wanted to create your own fantasy realm, have a more immersive gaming experience, or finally remember where your adventuring party’s heading, cartographer Cody James King is here to guide you with The Game Master's Guide to Fantasy Mapmaking (Page Street Publishing). With simple instructions and clear step-by-step illustrations, you’ll learn to draw everything from rivers, cliffs, and coastlines to castles and deadly ruins. Hone your skills and take your maps to the next level with elaborate borders and isometric compass roses or explore a new perspective with maps of various scales (all the way from single rooms to sprawling galaxies). Whether you’re creating a Dungeons & Dragons map or perfecting your fantasy novel’s worldbuilding, this comprehensive guide ensures you have the materials and know-how to get the job done. With King’s infectious enthusiasm, humor, and passion for his craft, you’ll build more detailed worlds and have a deeper knowledge of the art of mapmaking — just in time for your next campaign! King will be joined in conversation by Evan Leikam, author of Anji Kills a King.
