[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 1152272, member: 812"] I guess it depends on what you mean by "Plot". I think of "plot" as the actions of the NPCs who inhabit the world. For me, world and plot are deeply linked. Think of how much our current world is what it is because of the various "plots" that it has generated -- the Catholic Church, the waves of nomadic invaders from the East, the Chinese dynasties, the Egyptian obsessions with death, blah blah blah. So it's kind of impossible to come up with a world unless you consider the plots that have been carried out in that world. Especially so with a magical world where individuals can acquire power that is orders of magnitude greater than anyone can acquire in our world. Plots can reshape geography in a D&D world. Fusangite's approach sounds familiar to me -- come up with some thematic ideas and a way to fit them together, and see what story ideas get generated as a result. [/QUOTE]
