Description

One of the questions that I get asked most often revolves around creating RPG campaigns. How do you create a campaign? Where do you start? Do you start with an idea that you've conjured up? In today's episode, I talk all about where to start when creating your own campaign and along with the participants in the Discord chat, we come up with a campaign in 30 minutes! Topics covered: What is your goal for the campaign? What is your intended tone for the campaign? How do you express that tone? What world setting do you use? What are the parameters of your chosen world setting? Including: The reality of the setting, world knowledge, travel options, species and communication options. What characters are significant in your campaign? And how can you create adventures using these characters? The 4 types of nemeses and which one is best for your campaign. What is the nemesis' goal? What is the nemesis' plan?This episode was recorded just before the UK Games Expo - the expo took place in June in Birmingham in the UK and was awesome!

I'm Guy from How to be a Great GM! Welcome to our very first podcast! I have been playing TTRPGs, game mastering TTRPGs, teaching, making videos, writing books about role playing and being a great GM for many years and I've seen the channel and the community grow. This roleplaying community is a special one and I am honoured to be a part of it and to have the space and opportunity to contribute in my own way.One of the things that I've learnt doing this is that not any one of us has it all figured out really. There are some questions that I don't know the answers to but we always rally together to find the common place to rest our swords. And on this podcast, that is exactly what we will be doing. We will talk about what's on my mind, what's on your mind and answering your questions on all things TTRPG related. So join me every week as we talk, discover and challenge each other on this podcast.
