Wow, this is brilliant. These mechanics elegantly distill a strong emotional core for each fantasy race. The approach you've taken here will certainly give me new perspective on my future projects.

This game is truly creative and refreshing. I look forward to trying it in play. I'm especially taken with the rules for crises and the clear descriptions of the Powers. Thank you for making this!

I'm very happy to hear you're finding the system useful! I'd be curious to learn about your experience using it as your project progresses.

I’m excited to announce WorldLab, a design process for structuring and focusing worldbuilding in small creative teams!

Game designers, writers, and creatives frequently build worlds to inspire their designs. What makes this worldbuilding captivating, coherent, and illuminating? And what principles and processes should teams of worldbuilders follow for the most creative results? I’ve spent the last few years exploring these questions. WorldLab is my answer.

The system draws on agile development methodologies, design thinking, careful observation of the collaborative worldbuilding process, and prior worldbuilding games, such as Ben Robbins’s Microscope RPG and Situation Lab’s Rilao Remote Viewing Protocol, with the goal of producing creative worlds as efficiently and effectively as possible and with an end use and audience for the world in mind.

WorldLab is free to download, unless you'd like to make a donation.
