Becoming a Great GM with Guy Sclanders

Ep3: Create a Campaign in 30 Minutes


Listen Later

One of the questions that I get asked most often revolves around creating RPG campaigns. How do you create a campaign? Where do you start? Do you start with an idea that you've conjured up? 
In today's episode, I talk all about where to start when creating your own campaign and along with the participants in the Discord chat, we come up with a campaign in 30 minutes! 

Topics covered: 

  • What is your goal for the campaign? 
  • What is your intended tone for the campaign? 
  • How do you express that tone? 
  • What world setting do you use? 
  • What are the parameters of your chosen world setting? Including: 
    • The reality of the setting, world knowledge, travel options, species and communication options. 
  • What characters are significant in your campaign? And how can you create adventures using these characters? 
  • The 4 types of nemeses and which one is best for your campaign. 
  • What is the nemesis' goal? 
  • What is the nemesis' plan?


This episode was recorded just before the UK Games Expo - the expo took place in June in Birmingham in the UK and was awesome! Check it out for next year's dates!
