[QUOTE="Psion, post: 4339749, member: 172"] I'm what you call a top-down world designer. I don't dwell on details (i.e., I could never write for AEG's Legend of the Five Rings games), but I like to drive my adventure ideas and games from the perspective of the histories and current personalities and nations of the world and their logical outcomes. Yes, well, as the saying goes, a few bad apples spoil the bunch. There are some GMs/designers out there who forget the fact that the main consumers of their creation are their players, and "geek out" on aspects of the world that are really not important to the players. So some folks come to the conclusion that "worldbuilder GMs are bad!!!!!!111eleven11!!!" A good world designer picks their battles, concentrates their effort on stuff that matters and that the players are going to care about, and creates a rich and engaging situation to immerse the players into.
