I guess now a thread about worldbuilding and how it's part of the production of RPGs? Not "how to build a world," but "how RPGs generate worldbuilding in ways that other media often don't and why this matters."

(Relevant to Certain Other Things)

1/
In a broad-scope RPG like #DnD or Green Ronin's #Threefold or #Shadowrun or the #WoD you have a big world with a lot going on, specifically so that game groups can grab hooks that resonate with them and then build their own game sessions in ways that interest them.

2/
Some indie RPGs are very narrow in scope—you're climbing a mountain to kill a witch, or writing a journal of a thousand-year-old vampire, and that's all the game does. Big world games instead say "You figure out what your group likes in this world, here are a million hooks."

Back in the '90s, when I worked at White Wolf, we were deep in setting lore. Every year, the overall plot for all of the games in the World of Darkness marched forward. Twisted conspiracies turned, influencers shifted sides, new factions emerged.

D&D and even Shadowrun did the same: There was a story, it advanced through the books, the world changed and characters grew, died, or discovered new additions to the game.

This eventually led to a phenomenon of "setting mastery": Players deeply enmeshed in the lore of a game would use their knowledge of the world to manipulate the game to their advantage. (This was a problem in large-scale organized games where players competed.)

Tout d'abord, j'aime beaucoup ambient-mixer.com pour les ambiances dans les parties de JDR. Plutôt utilisée en physique, elle est assez modulable pour correspondre à mon idée d'ambiance pour certaines scènes.

Ensuite, j'utilise énormément YouTube pour les musiques en partie et maintenant je couple YouTuble avec watch2gether dont j'ai parlé dans mon premier défi JDR - The Sprawl sur le blog (jdr-et-roliste.fr/the-sprawl-jdr…).

Been playing a lot of cyberpunk recently—no, not that one, the #Shadowrun kind! (Specifically Dragonfall, which I tried to play back when it came out, but I kept dying in the tutorial.)

Shadowrun does some things really well that are good design ideas...

(A thread.)

1/ Cover art for "Shadowrun: Dragonfall—Director's Cut,&
Like most cyberpunk genre media, in Shadowrun, megacorporations have global reach and influence. The game books include top-ten lists of the largest, wealthiest, most influential corporations, and ideas about what they do and what kinds of cutting-edge research they sponsor.

2/ Cover of "Shadowrun: Corporate Guide" sourcebook,
Shadowrun lays out the corporations for you, giving them names, chairpeople, and agendas. This makes it really easy for you, as a GM, to figure out missions that involve them. It also does worldbuilding for you: These organizations exist, they have logos and goals.

Und weil es die liebe @chra war die mich wegen @KhazAndCrit drauf gebracht hatte, gibt's den #Duetgame Thread jetzt auch noch in deutsch für die #pnpde #ttrpg Twitter Blase 😘

#pnpde
Duospiele - 1on1 oder Duetgames - was ist das?

#Duetgame = 1 #ttrpg, 1 #GM / #DM + 1 Spieler

Du kannst ein Duetgame mit den Regeln von so ziemlich jedem #ttrpg spielen

#ttrpg #dnd #dnd5e #pnpde
Ich habe die meiste Erfahrung damit #DSA und #DnD / #dnd5e Duetgames zu leiten, aber ich habe auch schon #Duetgames in #Shadowrun und #Vampire the Masquerade gespielt und es hat super funktioniert und hat so viel Spaß gemacht!

Want to know what it’s like to run a TV writers room? Try DMing a #DnD game! BEGIN SPEW! #TVWriting 1/?
No seriously. Refereeing a #DnD game may be the best training you can get for running a TV writers room. #TVWriting 2/?
NOTE: Doesn’t have to be #DnD. Any paper and pencil RPG will do. #Runequest #Traveler #Champions #Shadowrun… but maybe not #CallOfCthuhlu or #Paranoia. More on that in a bit. #TVWriting 3/?
