Episode #4: Rodney Elliot a.k.a. @wyrmwoodmaps

Friday, August 16, 2024 • Duration 02:18:55

When you read a story, you’re taking the reader by the hand and showing them your world. Give them a map and they are free to go wherever they want. To quote our fourth guest, Rodney Elliot of @wyrmwoodmaps — a master storyteller, who spent over 30 years building his fantastic world of Ithia. We dive into his creative process and explore the ways to tell stories through maps. Leander & Filip get inaugurated into the Guild of Free Cartographers and talk about the life devoted to storytelling through the art of a map.
