About this episode
A recording of a talk by Lowell Francis about handling world building and collaborative elements. This session was part of Shared Hearth, the Open Hearth Gaming Community free ttrpg weekend.
In this talk/discussion we hit on
- Reasons for a shared approach
- How existing games handle this
- Online tools and techniques
- Managing collaborative building
- ...and more.
This was a mixed discussion and Q&A. We talked about adapting a more fixed setting, like Duskvol from Blades in the Dark, and make it into one with even more interesting player input and creation.
