In this video I talk about roads and fantasy worldbuilding, while I draw fantasy maps in watercolour and ink. This morning, I got up at 06:15 to film an old Roman Road that is located in a nature reserve not far from where I live here in Oxford. (And I did it all for you. You’re welcome.)
It was a lovely morning, I saw three cute rabbits and even heard a woodpecker.

I've recently started making watercolour fantasy maps. I’m far from an expert, but I thought it would be fun to share my creative journey. If you’re a beginner, you can draw along together with me, if you like.

I also talk a little bit about Eastern Farraway and the enchanted heating bricks that were once used to make sure the roads between Winterhold and Whiteport were clear from snow during winter. In addition, I’ve also listed D&D monsters and encounters that you can use for your next RPG session.

If you would like to talk more about fantasy worldbuilding and mapmaking, leave a comment below. I read all of them.
I hope that you’ll have a wonderful and creative day!☕

Cheers/ Tove
