World Building Tips Volume 2

This book is jam-packed with solid world building how-to and tips on every page. It is a compilation of weekly tips that have gone out to the World Building Academy list members for half a year. These tips will not be repeated online and are now available only in this book. World Building Tips Volume 2 covers points ranging from structural meta-considerations, to travel, communications, roads, cultural values and a grab-bag of related material. As author Talitha Kalago says, "I consider this book an invaluable tool in my arsenal and strongly recommend it to anyone who is designing a fictional setting for any reason."
