    Congrats on the kids. Awesome that you're doing D&D these days. I love how you're all over the place with stuff.

    • @GiantMonsterGames
      @GiantMonsterGames  4 года назад +1

      Thanks! It has been a roller coaster. Kids are so much work and 2 at the same time is insane. At the e same time it has forced me to do other hobbies as I just don't have the time to play as much magic. Sitting down for a 50 min match or going to my LGS is not an option, for now. Also I'm relearning my love for D&D. so that is cool.
      Got any Ideas on Names or what you would like to see on the map?

    So much respect for the top down world building approach. I love these kinds of angles for building a world and have been trying to perfect it for an Earth Scale world of my own. Even got the 35% land mass down just by eyeing it. Super slow process but I’m in love with it lol

      Thanks I did a fair amount of research before I started this project. Now that it is getting a fair amount of attention I may revisit it and start expanding. I guess my big question is what would people be interested in next? A deep dive into one country? A braod overview of where Races are from? A simple Zoomed in map of once place?

    Please come back, the world needs more budget deck content creators!

    • @GiantMonsterGames
      @GiantMonsterGames  3 года назад +1

      Unfortunately Making budget decks for any kind of competitive format is almost impossible now. When I made this channel and started making budget decks I wanted to keep the decks in the $20 - $60 range, as this was my budget for a new deck. But you just can't make a competitive deck for that price anymore.
      IF I moved into casual decks then sure you can make budget decks again. But that doe's not interest me.

    I love this map and the attention to detail you put into it. SO few map makers look at things like how does the topagraphy of a world affect the bioms...they just splash biomes in willy-nilly. I'm sad you stopped the project. I ran across this video when looking for D&D map making videos and was super excited to see the rest of the series...

    I use this exact method to create my fantasy world about a year ago thanks to artifexian. Highly satisfying to create your own fantasy world that's at least somewhat grounded in reality.
    Unfortunately, my hard drive died and I lost everything. Guess it's time to redo it.
    Yours looks a whole lot better than mine did though.

    Nice to hear you're alive! (if having children can even be considered having a life xD)
    I don't know much about Dn'D or map building but maybe you could take a page out of Tolkien's book and try to make places sound like what they are. For example, calling some evil and spooky mountains with an evil and spooky name: Ered Gorgoroth.
    Maybe this was obvious, IDK.
    Have a nice day! :D

    • @GiantMonsterGames

      @@GiantMonsterGames That name, Ered Gorgoroth is a a place in Tolkien's universe, I didn't come up with it.
      The problem (or maybe it's a good thing) is that using the phonetics of words in this way requires to know how the place is beforehand.
      This project of yours seems very cool, so thanks for sharing it with us :)
