[QUOTE="Krensky, post: 4785435, member: 30936"] Because no one has published the world I want to run a given game in. When I ran my Mekton Z "High Frontier" hard(ish) sci-fi game, I needed to write the world. When I ran my Mekton Z "Eleutheria" space opera/space fantasy game, I had to write the world. When I ran my D&D 3.5e "World of Nephos" game, I needed to write the world since no published world fit the game I wanted to run. Trust me on this, the world is a little tricky to explain without playing it first. Steampunk, firearms, victoriana, and unbiquidous magic were part of it. When I ran my "Osaka" oWoD KotE/Mage/Hengiyoki game, I had to write the city up. I also had to rewrite a big chunk of the background since my players and I wanted something more rooted in japanese and chinese myhtology and style. I've had to write several worlds for my SG-1 game. On the other hand, my failed Runelords game and my moderately successful Realms game used published settings. I make worlds because often the published ones don't scratch my or my players itch.
