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."

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.

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."
