I'm reminded of Dr. King when he said “In a real sense all life is inter-related. All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be, and you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be...

Wesley Brekelmans lol.. not writing... world building. Thats what good DMs do.. plant clues you dont understand... until later.

[@corwyncorey3703]

@Kanya Navanathan lol... thats exactly what i said... its a clue. proper world building, if attention is paid to details, has all the clues there for multiple adventures... a full campaign worth... and those clues may be sitting there in plain sight for YEARS. Writing is a part of world building... but certainly not all of it. world building isnt just "fleshing out an environment" ...it about making a world where things are *happening* and observant players can affect them... on the tiniest of clues. its allowing players to walk through a world that, if they paid enough attention (since everything a DM uses as a descriptor without player prompting is important... or they wouldnt say it) they could see clues WAY earlier than being led by the hand to them. The book... it is, while in the restricted library, the KEY to the school's defenses. Instead of putting it back, the VP has t taken (not taking charge of t himself) to the principal's office. That session 1. A FAR more than trivial clue. it is a pivotal campaign plot hinging clue. Introduced in the first hour. THAT is pro level epic world building. how paranoid is a player? how much attention are they paying? Most of us... not much. not really. details escape... but thats what its all about. If you dont think that is world building.. i feel a bit sad for your players if you run table.
