How to start a New World
When we play TTRPGs we need a place to set the adventure in and often it's the GMs job to keep track of and play the world around the Player Characters, but how do we make sure to have a world to set the adventures in that feels like it allows that adventure to flourish?
That is what we are discussing today. We talk about the process of worldbuilding and especially how you can start when building your first one or what steps you can take to improve your current world. We talk about the abstraction of worldbuilding and why we even do it in the first place and how that knowledge will help you to focus your worldbuilding on what really matters while leaving enough room for the little details you enjoy.

How to challenge High Level PCs
1 RecommendationsPlayer Characters get progressively stronger and more powerful as they level up in games like D&D, that means that we also have to level up the world around them to still provide a challenge to them, but how do we do this to make it not feel like a video game?
That is what we are discussing today. We highlight a few different techniques you can use to challenge Player Characters that have reality-altering abilities and magic at their disposal while not just making the threats bigger and meaner. We talk about types of challenges you can throw at them, strategies for making your enemies more powerful, and a lot more. We also highlight using challenges other than combat and action challenges to provide a different form of challenge.
