When creating a Divinity system, you have to decide first, will there even be gods, if so, how many, next how do they organize themselves, and finally how powerful are they? Both of these take a long time, and can be closer to boring than exciting, however because these two aspects of your world are so important, and affect literally every other part, we have to decide these things first. Now that you know what the feeling and style you are going for is, next we are going to be making two of the most complicated systems for the whole thing.

Ravenloft Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™ gothic horror, with vampire overlords.

Dragonlance Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™ epic battles between good and evil, and the resurgence of dragons.

Eberron Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™ steampunk fantasy, with sentient robots and dirigibles.

Greyhawk Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™ Arthurian level medieval fantasy.Forgotten Realms- middle of the road, anything goes.So what is that style?Р В РІР‚СњР В РІР‚РЋor example, here are several currently existing settings, here they are with what I see as their aesthetic. ItР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s assumed that if you are creating your own world, itР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s because there is a style or aesthetic that is missing from the current selection, and you want to make it yourself. Aesthetic of Your WorldР В РІР‚СњР В РІР‚РЋirst things first, what makes your world different than the ones that already exist? Surely, if youР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›re just going to be in a non-descript high fantasy world, where magic is prevalent, and different races intermingle in large cities, you would just play in Faerun. Each topic has tons of help from the rest of the internet to dive deeper into. ItР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s best to do so in this order.Р В РІР‚СњР В РІР‚С›lso, this is not the end all be all of your world building, but instead just tells you what the next most-helpful part is. This is closer to the path a fantasy writer would take, but we specifically want it to be built for other DMs to grow the story and details of your world for Tabletop Roleplaying Games (TtRPGs). However, if you want to build a world for the sake of building a world, this guide is for you. The first is to start with the village your adventure is going to take place in, and grow from there as needed.
