Ever wonder how to create natural and magical encounters? How to use fantastical wildlife to your players’ wonder in your TTRPG campaigns?
Join us as we take a stroll through the many ways in which you can use the fantastic natural side of fantasy nature in your stories and games. From magical beasts and plants to Fae and Elementals, there are an infinite array of possibilities to spice up your natural encounters.
We’ll touch on multiple types of encounters, from friendly chance meetings with strange intelligent wildlife to tense combat in which the players must use their knowledge of beast and plant to come out on top.
There will be plenty of tips and exchanges of ideas during the talk, with many opportunities to put your own ideas to paper. Let’s work together to craft the wildest encounters that your players (or GM if you want to use this to spice up a character’s background) will remember for months to come!
The talk will include optional forms to help you fill out your encounters, so you only need to take a writing utensil with you.
This talk is suitable for both beginners and more experienced people that play TTRPG or write fantasy.
