Creation Corner: Rindis

We hope you've enjoyed our earlier special episodes that give a sneak peek behind the DM's screen. This episode is our first true Creation Corner, and we're talking about Rindis, a cold country known for its dramatic geography and well-crafted but fearsome raiding ships.
As will be the case with all Creation Corner episodes, expect disjointed thoughts, stream of consciousness thinking, and good and bad ideas all mixed in together as Thane and Rhett discuss possible points about this country.
We mention several specific websites during the episode:
Our wiki, where we keep notes about the world we're building together. Not only is it a place to see what we've already created, we also invite Stackers to join in on the fun. Please feel free to edit our wiki!
The Rindis page within our wiki, where information about this imaginary country will grow over time.
The Cartographers' Guild, a wonderland of talent and inspiration. The site includes detailed tutorials on how to make maps, as well. This is a GREAT DM resource!
We'd love to know what you think of this episode! If you like what you hear, please take a moment to leave us a five star rating on iTunes--it will help connect us with other gamers. Also, share your thoughts with us on Twitter and/or Instagram. We love to hear what DMs and players are thinking about.

Ep 16 - Rocky Mountain Way

The party's fight at the gate led to an unsettling encounter and an unsatisfying conclusion. Clearly outmatched, the bruised and battered friends have spurred their horses onward toward their next destination. Pursuers behind and the mountains of central Moriga looming ahead; what lies in store for Tira, Womberbash, and Peter? Find out now in this week's episode!
