Part 4 of our discussion of world-building continues the topic of “What makes your world unique.” Is it magic? Strange creatures? Are there odd elements or plants that cause supernatural things to occur? Are there aliens, or super-powered people? How do these oddities function in your world, and how is the world affected by their presence? This week, Rob & Sara attempt to break this giant topic down for you!

We also take some time to answer a few listener questions from our Discord server!

We record every Wednesday, at 7pm Eastern. Listen live at podcastdetroit.com, Studio 4!

One of the most important aspects of building an interesting world is societies, and the customs, politics, religion, and sub-factions that makes up the greater whole. After all, what is a world without interesting people to live in it? This week, Rob and Sara take a stab at outlining the process of creating interesting people to live in the worlds you write.

As with any form of storytelling, tabletop roleplaying games can bring up challenging emotional situations, both in and out of character. When emotions begin to rise, it’s not always easy to handle the situation in a constructive way. This week, we are joined by special guest and licensed clinical social worker Matthew Stewart-Fulton, as we discuss the various types of difficult situations that may arise, and ways we might address them with everyone’s best interests in mind.
