Landscape science tells fascinating stories, whether in fiction or
a role-playing game. Earth's varied terrain provides many examples
of scene-specific challenges and resources for story characters,
with distinctive land features, compelling locations, and
intriguing traits. Landslides, floods, coastal erosion, glacier
movement, and volcanism can deliver fresh plot points and alter the
social character of an imagined region. Characters traveling
different river types encounter very different puzzles,
opportunities, and combat environments and the same variety awaits
within other classic settings, such as caves, mountains, deserts,
shorelines, and volcanic zones. Atypical landscapes such as tundra,
karst, and vast glacier surfaces can breathe fresh air into any
stories. This handbook is a reference source for creative writing
and game world building. It delves deeply into many landscape
characteristics that help set the tone, shape character behavior,
and drive the plot. Chapters are divided into diverse geographic
environments, from rivers and shorelines to caves and volcanoes,
and show how knowledge of the terrain can deliver plot points, add
veracity, pose key problems, establish conflict, and lead into the
next scene. Discover how authors and game masters effectively weave
land and terrain into their stories.
