World building is a fun part of preparing a game but it’s still work. Sometimes you may need help generating ideas. James D’Amato from the One Shot podcast released a new book called The Ultimate RPG Game Master’s Worldbuilding Guide, which contains many exercises to build up a world. James and I went through one of the exercises to expand upon my game, Base Raiders. What happens 5 years after base raiding is commonplace? What magic and technology spreads across the world? You won’t believe how important crabs are in the future of Base Raiders!
