The PCs in the AGE of Rediscovery campaign are, at this point, all from Bandisal. Considering that they will likely be discovering lost temples to strange gods, I should probably have some idea of what ‘normal gods’ look like to them. The Bandisal culture came out of the Age of Upheaval, …
The setting of the AGE of Rediscovery campaign is entirely rooted in divine worldbuilding. Literally so, in fact. The gods all got together to build the prime plane as a place to hide from amorphia, the realm of seething chaos that their own haphazardly-built realm was constructed in. An amorphic …
After six and a half years, the RPG Blog Carnival returns. The topic of the January 2019 carnival is ‘Divine Worldbuilding’. Does this mean “how the gods build the world”? Does this mean “how to build the worlds of the gods”? Does this mean “how to gods and world building …
