My name is Wouter and I am an artist, designer and cartographer specialized in fantasy storytelling and tabletop gaming. The Voyager’s Workshop is where I help creators, authors, publishers and gamers tell stories that they live and are a part of!

In my multi-disciplinary approach to visual storytelling, I use a combination of traditional and digital tools in order to create art that matters to you and the people in your life.

Session 44 of , they decided to deal with the necromancers in the caves, unfortunately (fortunately?) they had instigated the doom of those last month, when they opened a bolted door and just left it open without investigating that much further. The wight that had been locked in that crypt used the chance to make the rest of the cultists into wights as well.

The lack of magic/silver weapons made them turn back before challenging the former high priest.

Virgins & Vixens gives players the opportunity to reshape the women in folklore and create new ideas about how women can behave… maybe saving the day in the process!

For many of us who started gaming in the tail end of the 1970s, The Handbook for Space Pioneers: Exoplanet Colonies (1978) by Wolfe and Wysack was basically the first space game supplement that wasn't intended for RPGs at all... and yet...

It provided fully realised worlds, maps, races, threats, economies, deckplans, personality tests, and recruitment ideas for characters.. er.. cough the readers.

Perfect for traveller or Star Trek and packed with colonial issues too.

Feb 19 – Our featured creator is an avid gamer. Does affect your creativity?

I've discussed how playing especially as a GM affected my writing by getting me in the habit of keeping multiple characters in my head, including ones that aren't currently in the forefront of the action. https://writeout.ink/@ljwrites/115703971664032084

A lot of electronic gaming has an interesting point of view when I think about it, in that I'm moving a character around and watching them on screen at the same time. I think gaming, along with other visual media, may have affected my habit of defaulting to third-person objective PoVs.

And of course, gaming as an activity can be inspiration, rest, and procrastination, and it's not always clear which is which xD

F 19: Our featured creator is an avid gamer. Does gaming affect your creativity?

I make tabletop games for fun and I also DM a homebrew D&D campaign. So of course games affect my creativity!

For me, I think creativity derives from play, all the way back to make-believe as a child. Taking on other roles, building narratives, and creating structure for play (or games if you will) comes from the joy of childhood play. There’s a thread that stretches to now.
