how do you world build tg?
>>98517589Start with real world history as a basis. Then start adding supernatural or science fiction elements until no one but you will realize what you're imitating.
Notice how the retarded image on the right doesn't have an example from a real setting because it was made by a LARPer faggot.
>>98517589Bottom up, running with minimum viable setting, and then feverishly canonising (or decanonising) what happens at the table.
Start with completely different planet and cosmology. The crucial thing is mever to have any parallels with our world, history or religions. If something reminds you of a real world counterpart, you must completely randomize it. The trick is to either play in our reality or in something entirely alien. Never mix our world with fantasy or sci fi.
>>98517589Make it up and then figure out how it works/makes sense by going backwards.
What is this fucking obsession with le buildin' muh heckin' worlds? Just use a pre-made setting like the rest of us
>>98518650>pre-madeSomebody had to build that.
>>98518726Ed Greenwood didn't go on fucking teeg and ask "hurf durf what does drow breast milk taste like?", so why should (you)?
>>98518891Well durrr probably because "drow" is a legally owned by Hasbro??? Are you 'tarded?
I don't do no custer shit
right is just warhammer
>>98518726So what? That clearly isn't the point.
>>98517745If it's sci-fi, it has to be our world.
>>98517626troonch crusade and 40k although 40k wishes it was on the left
>>98517589I have a friend GMing our group's current campaign who spent a couple years slowly working on the whole setting of the campaign and its story.But I'm the kind of person who improv's things and trusts my instincts. I've got the type of imagination that feels more like I'm just describing real people and places and the details auto-generate. So I'll just make an outline and some outlines within outlines, and just let it happen. If that sounds insane you have to understand that even when I do plan things out more and write lots of detail then when it comes to the game it just gets overwritten as things play out. I can't seem to help it. And no one in our group sees any difference between these two methods. The tradeoff is my games have more wild flexibility and can go more interesting places, but my friend's game has had some crazy intrigue and plot twist, amazing foreshadowing, and most different he drew a whole map for the setting.
HNNNGHH I LOVE USELESS TRIVIATHE STATE FLOWER OF GLIPGLOPSVILLE IS OUR GENERATION'S GREAT GATSBYI CAN'T SLEEP NOT KNOWING WHAT BECAME OF KING FLEEPLEDEEPLE AFTER HIS HALF-BROTHER SKURNAK INCITED THE BING BONG REBELLIONMY DWARVES ARE SLUGS ACTUALLYNO THEY DON'T LIVE UNDERGROUND, NO THEY DON'T HAVE BEARDS, NO THEY DON'T HAVE THOUGHTS OR FEELINGS, BUT THEY'RE DWARVES BECAUSE I SAY SO
>>98517589It depends on which of these you mean:>How do you (personally) world build /tg/?>How does one world build /tg/?>How do you (personally) world build, /tg/?>How does one world build, /tg/?Learn English and learn how to type.
>>98519342i found the entire 50 pages dedicated to puckee despite him being pretty irrelevant to the lore overall exhausting in the latest edition
>>98519313Why did Skurnak incite this rebellion?
>>98517589>how do you world build tg?Just start with a fun premise/scenario and expand upon it leisurely while I'm on the toilet reading:>"What if the titans & dragons had defeated the gods and the Bronze Age never ended?" >"What would a modern society look like if it had to develop on a planet where Kaiju were numerous and endemic?" >"What would be *my* take on the societies that form in a massive cube megastructure?" Nothing complicated. If a topic can sustain my attention for 3 poops I'll start working on it.
>>98519342>erm actually in this grammatical context one would use "whom"ur a faget
>>98517605>Start with your fetish as a basis. Then start adding supernatural or science fiction elements until no one but you will realize what you're doing.FTFY
>>98517589I mostly "sandbox" it. One of my worlds was basically the starting village and a few places of interests. Though as it went on more towns, landmarks, etc were made. Also I don't do AU France, England, etc. Though I do mix and match cultures, armors, etc to make a kingdom, group, etc.
>>98517589Pick a thing that is exciting for the players to do, make up a place where they can do that, fill in outwards from there as needed.
>>98517589>"furries" and "enemies of god" are separate categoriesYikes.
>>98519520nigger mario nigger called him a jigaboo
>>98518915no
>>98519574>Bronze Age never ended?thats just retarded like fantasy worlds stuck in forever medieval
>>98517626Warhammer Fantasy used to be like 60% historical in-jokes by volume. It has long since been Warcrafted, but it used to be a fair example of type 2.Before that, though not created for roleplaying, REH's Hyborian Age is another "I want to do a historical fantasy setting without chaining myself to a boulder of research" setting.>>98517589I do both, depending on my mood. I have among other things a terraformed Mars that is now collapsing back into uninhabitability because the people administering it don't care, the AI assistants are only interested in production quotas, and the people living in orbital paradise have devolved into near-Eloi. They don't even remember that this is Mars any more.And then I've got settings that are just set in a fictional part of the world during actual history, like a haunted German castle right after the 30 Years' War or an island in the Caribbean that doesn't exist where a subspecies of humanity skulks in the caves and kidnaps people to take down below for the pleasure of their grotesque god.
>>98517589Just make some stuff up.
>>98520934>>98521138lol
>>98517626I just assumed it was literally "me" as in a random guy who liked to imagine his fursona in Furry Game of Thrones and not an actual published setting
Start with a fetish. Build a world as needed for that fetish to be as common and/or central as I want.
>>98517589I use bulshitting and ass-pulling.
>>98517589The best way.>Add whatever I think is cool>Add my fetish(es)>Steal shit from my favorite media
>>98521817I mean, not MODERN Warhammer, which is Warcraft tier written by people who want to destroy history, not study it or make fun of it.
