Back in the day (🍸), I did a faux newspaper for my Champions (1st Edition) campaign where I would flesh out the setting. I had fun doing it, and it was well received.

I don't do any world building these days. I look for rpgs where that's already been done.Back in the day (🍸), I did a faux newspaper for my Champions (1st Edition) campaign where I would flesh out the setting. I had fun doing it, and it was well received.

That creates a more interesting setting that reacts to the players' actions, and that makes it more fun for everyone.
The biggest setting project I've done is the collaborative construction of Alderleaf, a setting for a game I ran with my son for a few years. We'd put on events for the game and let the setting grow as needed to support what we were doing. We had great fun with it.

I like to start my games in a small corner of the setting and let the players discover it as they explore. That means that (a) I don't have to develop the whole setting at once, and (b) I can make stuff up for the setting as needed to support it. So creation of the world is not a big project to do at game start, but is something that evolves along with the play of the game.That creates a more interesting setting that reacts to the players' actions, and that makes it more fun for everyone.

(Disclaimer: Koenjihyakkei's music is strange enough that I wouldn't normally recommend it without some sort of disclaimer, but I already did it once earlier, so I will trust past Alison.)

Near-future update: I finally got around to listening to Koenjihyakkei's 2024 album Dhorimvishka and it's great AND fully 4 of the 7 tracks are between 9 and 12 minutes long.(Disclaimer: Koenjihyakkei's music is strange enough that I wouldn't normally recommend it without some sort of disclaimer, but I already did it once earlier, so I will trust past Alison.)

Me neither. Is it any good?
No idea if they're any good (looks like there are now 2 story arcs), but Mongoose only started putting them out a year or two ago. Riftbreaker #4 isn't even out yet.
