I'm sure it would be well-attended, but they might have a difficult time finding people to panel/teach it. Yes, I was thinking this king of thing could be offered at a con.

One that focused somewhat on the geography side of world building. I ran into a problem like this while writing some aspects of my blog novel. I had this huge city/castle, and realize that while it wasn't mentioned how many lived in this place, there was a substantial amount of people living there. It's more or less a walled city. So I had to think how these people would survive considering that they lived in a wide valley. I figured extensive farmland and grazing animals would work, and hopefully I am right. I'm going off what I know about Sacramento, which is near where I live. Needless to say, interesting take and I would like to see a class like that. I would love to see more classes designed towards fantasy and fiction writers too... That would be a most interesting class. One that focused somewhat on the geography side of world building.
