Take your TTRPG campaigns to the stars with practical, easy-to-implement tips on sci-fi world building.
Introduction
Welcome, Game Masters! Let’s journey through the cosmos and dive into the art of sci-fi world building for your TTRPG campaigns. We’ll discuss pre-planning, improvisation, player-driven narratives, and much more.
Why this matters for your table
In our experience, a well-constructed and immersive world can elevate a good campaign to a great one. But more importantly, it hooks your players, providing them new experiences and exciting narrative opportunities.
Practical Examples
-
Plot Hook: The Ancient Beacon
Your adventurers stumble upon an archaic alien signal that points to a lost civilization and its riches.
-
Plot Hook: The Cursed Starship
An abandoned spaceship is found, eerily powered up in the void. Exploring it could yield powerful artifacts, but at what cost?
Wrapping up
Bringing your sci-fi world to life involves a little prep, a pinch of improv, and a lot of listening to your players. Happy world-building!
