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.

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.

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.

If anyone ends up running a Call of Cthulhu scenario, I'd love to join!

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.

QOTD SEP 18: How much world building do you do for your games, either the ones you make or your settings for your home games? What's the coolest/most extensive bit of world building you've done?
