This is another role playing game vlog where I discuss world building in role playing games.  Regardless of what game or game genre you're running, building your own world can be an amazing opportunity to bring life to your gaming group and bring back the mystery of the unknown to your game.

Check out the video and ask yourself - how can I build something that is fresh and new?  Do I start out with the big picture concepts and paradigms, or do I start off small with just a few locations and story threads?
