How to World Build in a Player and Character Focused Way
Here's a bonus episode for you about how to World Build with Your players and Characters in mind.
Here are some helpful tips:
- When you world build for players, you leave open spaces that players can help fill
- It gives your worldbuilding direction, which makes the story that much better.
- It saves time and effort because you only build about 20% more than what the players will interact with. Think about rendering in Minecraft.
- Your players get to help build the world
- You can add cool things as you progress through the story
Hope you enjoyed this Instagram Live episode.

Mentioned in this episode:
Start Leveling Up As a DM
Wouldn’t it be nice to gamify your dungeon master abilities?
In D&D, characters can reach level 20, so why can’t dungeon masters?
We’re happy to tell you that now, you can.
We created the Dungeon Master Level-Up Guide.
It’s a simple tool to gamify your progression to higher and higher levels of dungeon mastering.
It includes Dungeon Master Levels 1 to 20 with associated XP requirements as well as a long list of Dungeon Master activities that will give you XP. Each activity has a Challenge Rating and an XP amount.
In order to level up, all you need to do is find out how much XP you have, find out how much you need and pick activities to try.
You can get the Dungeon Master Level-Up guide for free by going to session0studios.com/newsletter/, sign up for our newsletter and we’ll email you the Level-Up Guide.
Finally, leveling up as a DM can be as fun as leveling up a character.
