There are some neat world building tools out there, but who'd have thought there'd be one from 1977? Join us as we dig into A Pattern Language, a gem of a book that looks at how to build meaningful communities from the high-level region all the way down to the private home. In this first Creation Corner episode on the topic, we start looking at the book's layout and some examples of the information it contains.

The result of the reading is eventually a map of Arden, and we'd love for you to check it out.
