💡 Story & Setting - What world and story do we want?

After we’ve started shaping our Core Game Vision, let’s dive into the world and story 🌍📖

🔑 Key Questions to Discuss

• Genre & Atmosphere

  • Fantasy, sci-fi, post-apocalyptic, steampunk, modern urban fantasy…?
  • Should it be epic and serious, lighthearted and humorous, or somewhere in between?

• World Design

  • Do we want a single big continent, multiple realms, planets, or planes of existence?
  • Should the world feel alive and changing (seasons, wars, player-driven events), or be more static and hand-crafted?

• Story Structure

  • Do we want a main storyline (epic quest, chosen hero, world-saving)?
  • Or a sandbox with emergent stories and smaller arcs?
  • Should player choices shape the world (branching consequences)?

• Factions & Cultures

  • Are there kingdoms, guilds, races, or factions in conflict?
  • What themes do we want to explore (power, survival, freedom, morality, gods vs mortals…)?

📝 How to Contribute

• Share your favorite settings or stories (from games, books, RPG sessions, movies) and why they worked.
• Pitch an original concept idea — even if rough!
• Answer the questions above, even just one or two.
• Suggest themes or atmospheres you’d love to see in our RPG.

✅ Next Steps

Once we gather ideas here, we’ll:

1. Decide on a general setting & mood (e.g., medieval fantasy, dark sci-fi, etc.)
2. Identify possible story directions or arcs
3. Use this foundation for future discussions on Characters & Progression and Gameplay Mechanics

✨ Let’s build a world worth exploring together!
