[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 7392840, member: 6785785"] I don’t think the distinction you are making here is significant. Kobolds serving Infyrana in Dragon Mountain is far more specific, but it’s just as subject to having to be introduced in play as the basic kovolds serve dragons as general bit of lore. Both are simply concepts or ideas. If your assessment is that worldbuilding only happens once these elements come up in actual play, and that the GM thinking them up ahead of time, or the group deciding to play in a specific setting with those default assumptions do not actually constitute worldbuilding, then it applies to both examples, the general and the specific. If my PCs hear mention of kobolds, and they then ask about what they are, they can learn a broad detail or a specific. Either one is worldbuilding. It establishes the elements of the fictional world and the relationships of those elements to one another. [/QUOTE]
