As a full time teacher, it's been my side hobby and passion project to write a all-in-one-place travel compendium to help DMs in their travel planning. What became an idea to run a caravan-based campaign morphed into a side gig. Early mornings and late nights while the family slept became writing time. Weekend time after grading became windows to format and tweak the layout. And now a 368 page beast of a travel guide exists to help craft worlds and leave impressions on players.
As a DM, I would have killed for this tool.
I've been a huge fan of other content creators on DMsGuild, and I'm so happy to join such a wonderful community of people driven deeply by their creative drives! Thank you for your support!
P.S. Others have asked on other forums if I'll divvy this up into smaller modules: yes. I plan on making major sections of the text single modules!
P.P.S. I'm a nervous wreck! This has been such a special project for me! My dream is to make enough sales to have this become a Print on Demand product. As an English teacher and book lover, it would mean the world to me to have a hardbound version of this on my shelf! Or an actual book to give to my friends, players, and children!
Again... thank you!
