Around the Hearth

A recording of a talk by Lowell Francis about handling world building and collaborative elements. This session was part of Shared Hearth, the Open Hearth Gaming Community free ttrpg weekend. 

In this talk/discussion we hit on 
  • Reasons for a shared approach 
  • How existing games handle this 
  • Online tools and techniques 
  • Managing collaborative building 
  • ...and more. 
Talk Outline and Notes

This was a mixed discussion and Q&A. We talked about adapting a more fixed setting, like Duskvol from Blades in the Dark, and make it into one with even more interesting player input and creation.
