Building a Campaign Setting

Building a campaign world is a big undertaking, and this becomes more evident the deeper you dive into it. While we're still figuring things out ourselves, we want to share what we've found with you. Perhaps it'll help you avoid some false starts or dead ends, and perhaps it'll inspire you.

What's the big idea?
The hardest part can be getting started. But once you have that hook, run after it.

Figure out the main stuff
It's tempting to get bogged down in the details initially. Try starting big, then narrowing your focus.

Don't be afraid to be messy
Creation can be a loopy exercise; don't fear it.

Find a creation comrade
Sometimes you just need a little help.

Additional creation sources
There are plenty of places to go for ideas.
