Summary
When worldbuilding our own worlds for our TTRPG Campaigns and Games we often look to our real world for inspiration, but there are a ton of elements in games that do not exist in our real world, like magic. How do we make magic work when we don't even understand it? That is what we are discussing today. We discuss magic in worldbuilding and how someone being able to throw a fireball around would completely shatter reality as we know it. We talk about ways to understand and explain magic just enough to create a more grounded and foundational fantasy world while still keeping the fantasy alive. We give worldbuilding advice and inspiration so you can start your next worldbuilding session right.

DoubleDM #45: Social Hubs
Release Date: 12/13/2021
Description: You can vote for DoubleDM here: EnWorld In this week's episode, we talk about Social Hubs and why they are needed in TTRPGs. Social Hubs are all the Places people go to socialize and meet. This can be the sole reason for that place to exist or just one of many, but that is exactly the reason why you will need them in TTRPGs, because we need them in our real world as well. A Social Hub can be many things but the favorites include a Tavern, a Market Place or a Temple. We give advice on how to build social hubs and what you should pay attention to when building them, while also talking about how social hubs reflect on their patrons and how you will also build a lot for them with your social hub.
