Gygaxian Fantasy Worlds: Nation Builder (d20)
The devil is in the detail! Designing games¸ creating fictional worlds¸ and mapping out campaign settings all require an extraordinary amount of work. And as any designer¸ writer or gamer knows¸ getting the details right is the best way to bring the world to life. This sixth volume in the Gygaxian Fantasy Worlds series marshals a veritable host of information for the writer or game designer. Laboriously researched and written by Michael Varhola¸ Nation Builder fleshes out themes first presented in World Builder (GFW II¸ Gygax & Cross) and Living Fantasy (GFW III¸ Gygax)¸ but with its primary focus on the political¸ social and economic entities that comprise states in both modern realistic and fantastic settings. Each subject is supported with an ongoing series of detailed examples and miniature case studies¸ so that Nation Builder can serve as both a guide to creating campaign settings and a ready- made sourcebook and sample milieu for writers¸ designers and the like.
