In this video, I’ll talk about worldbuilding and fantasy maps, while I experiment with drawing different types of lakes using watercolours.
I’ve also got my old geology book where I show during which type of circumstances lakes are formed, which is good to know if you want to create a realistic fantasy map. (But there is nothing that will stop you from breaking the rules.)
Since summer is here, and the weather has been lovely during the last couple of weeks here in England, I took the opportunity to leave my desk and visit a little lake in a nature reserve here in Oxford.
I made a list of monster encounters that you can use if you’re planning on writing a D&D adventure, or other RPG adventures for 5e systems. I also discussed how you can make your adventure much more dangerous, if you use lakes as an environmental hazard. Finally, I talked a little bit about The Winter Eel, also known as “Storsjöodjuret” from the book Rise of the Ice Dragons Trilogy, that some of you might recognize.
I hope you’ll have a wonderful and creative day! 🖌️☕️🎨

P.S. I used two different tracks of music for this video and I’m wondering what you thought about it? Personally, I like listening to the same music on repeat, but I figured that it might be somewhat monotonous for most viewers, so let me know in the comments below if you liked it. 😺
P.P.S. Here is a link to the book Rise of the Ice Dragons Trilogy, if you want to know more: midnight-tower...
