[QUOTE="aco175, post: 9216213, member: 27385"] I would also get a feel of how big and open the BBEG is. Is the mayor of town corrupt and taking bribes to let the mining guild cut corners and not have proper supports in the tunnels? vs. Is the whole continent under the thumb of a tyrant who is part god, part demon and has 'loyalty' squads that travel the lands questioning everyone? I might try and steer things towards a more generic setting and smaller bad guys. I find that once the heroes defeat Lord Vader, they always find an Emperor behind the evil plans that needs to be confronted. Might also need to talk about gods and their role in the daily life of regular people and adventurers. Are you making up gods or taking a list from a setting or old Deities and Demigods? I would find it easier to take this from a setting like FR or just several of them to get started. I'm not sure how long the group wants to spend on worldbuilding before starting to play and this could be a place to skip (to start at least). [/QUOTE]
