Meet the Creator
Emerald Lair is founded by Leo Hambling, who knows all about bringing fantastical worlds to life. With years of experience in narrative design, countless hours of D&D campaigns, and a deep love for crafting unique fantasy worlds, I’m passionate about helping others unlock their full creative potential.
I’m also the author of Writing Magic, a comprehensive guide to designing magic systems that serve your stories and captivate your audience. This book lays the foundation for what Emerald Lair is all about—blending creativity with structure to make worldbuilding fun, meaningful, and approachable for everyone.
