High quality content ! Great job ! I'm DMing for a world I built and I'm struggling a bit sometimes because I think I might have too many factions. I just wonder what do you really consider "factions" in this video , is an organisation ruled by a powerful demon a faction aswell ? What about vampires , is a group of a few hundreds vampires considered a faction ? I have this huge world but I fear there might be too much for my player to attach to and relate any tips on "reducing" factions ? I was thinking maybe fusing some together since they kinda have similar goals but this seem kinda weird to do what would you advise ?

[@frostyaustin735]

These are good questions. In my opinion, it can be difficult to define when a faction ends and begins. My general rule of thumb is to organize a faction based on their motivation. From that, I create goals. From goals, I create what their actions are. I would stick to 3 to 5 factions.

[@frostyaustin735]

I think its okay to fuse them together as long as you can find a way of helping your players understand why they are working together.

[@frostyaustin735]

I do consider the demon and vampires a great idea for a faction.

[@frostyaustin735]

One good way of reducing the number of factions is focusing on the factions that have the most influence in your adventure. For example, lets say you have a demons faction that is harvesting arcane crystals near your players. You have to decide if that faction can affect your players. Do the demons have imps in the area that harass the players? Do the arcane crystals disrupt magic and make your player spellcasters want to investigate? Are they kidnapping kids and sacrificing them to power up their crystals? Think about this and then decide if the various affects from the faction impact your player. If the answer is yes then that faction is important. If the faction is not impactful and just does stuff in the background then that faction can be reduced/eliminated. Turn that faction into some lore to sprinkle into your awesome adventure.

@@frostyaustin735 Thanks for those quick answers , will most definitly do that , order them by goal will help me define which could fall under the same. Also I guess a faction can have multiple branches , same goal doesn't mean same people everywhere.
