This continues the series on making a fantasy sandbox in five easy steps. 0. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. I always start with a map. Either one that I've made or a compelling one I've found. In fact, if I'm ever stumped on where to go next in a game -- regardless of genre -- I start looking at maps. In the old days, that meant flipping through game modules, encyclopedias, National Geographic, and even my dad's glove compartment. These days, we have an embarrassment of mapping riches.

Stop overthinking your sandbox...

Upon the shattered world of Tsaru -- within the strangling branches of Akavala, the Ravenous Tree, roam the Fhyrians.
