'Mythic Francia' - the setting of my Castle Xyntillan campaign open.substack.com/pub/kawinch/...

Worldbuilding: Do you start with the inspirational, or do you start with the functional? Creating a small guide for the world of my Castle Xyntillan campaign, and I’m thinking about the divide between what is interesting for me to create, and what is useful for the game. #d&d #OSR #worldbuilding

This is exactly why the 'Clubhouse' model of Classic TTRPGs is the best way to structure our games. Everyone has responsibilities to manage their Character in-and-out of session, everyone has responsibility to track rules, and the GM functions as a neutral 'referee' NOT as a 'storyteller'.
