    If all you want to do is build a world, do us all a favor and write an RPG supplement rather than a novel. A well built world isn’t worth much if I don’t like the characters *in* the world. At least with an RPG supplement I can care about my PC (or my players’ PCs if I’m the DM).

        Spent some time thinking today about all the fantasy series I dislike immensely because the characters I like die in the first book or aren’t consistently present in the sequels.

        3/ Also, IMO, RPG settings are a perfectly valid art form Not every idea needs to be expressed in a novel. A novel needs to have a lot of moving parts, all working well. The biggest is plot, but character development is up there.

        4/ I personally think that uplifting message / optimistic view of the universe / vague implications of a Benevolent God Who Loves Us are important too, but that's just me.

        5/ There are lots of people who can design neat worlds who either can't, or just don't want to, create a plot and a bunch of credible dialogue. ...so make an RPG setting! Twilight 2000 is awesome, and has no plot. Traveller is awesome, and has no plot. etc.

        I would also suggest that if you want to tell a plot/character-driven story, write a novel (or a film script) instead of writing/designing a game. This applies to videogames as well.

        My issue is I have like three settings I love and characters and broad stories I want to tell in them, yet struggle to stitch a narrative. Considering trying to do short stories in the settings instead, evoke my faves of Howard and Clark Ashton Smith.

        I’ve churned out fan fiction by reams, including like 150k words in about 4 months at one point. And to the low standard of fandom stuff it was well received. God knows I wish I could harness that hyperfocus for other things.
