World Building: Building Blocks

Last time I gave an introduction to this series of articles and explained what I am hoping to achieve with them. Hopefully that got you excited about creating your own world and your ready to start the next step. Today I will be talking about laying the foundations of your game area to give yourself a good starting point.

World Building: Baby Steps

With the end of my regular D&D game in sight, I have found myself looking at other RPGs on the market to find something interesting to play with my group. We have a lot of options, and decisions are yet to be made, but with the possibility of jumping into the Game Master's chair I got to thinking about how I would tackle creating a new campaign. Obviously the biggest challenge of that is building the world in which the players would live, fight and die (muhaha) in. So with that in mind, I figured I would write a short series of articles about how I go about world building, hopefully help some folks out, and maybe learn a thing or two in the process.
