System Splicers

In this episode we review our process for preparing to start a new campaign, and share the results of that preparation. We begin by going over the different tools and techniques we used to flesh out the world and our characters, then each of us go into more detail about the specific things we designed and added to the worldbuilding process. It's a bit of a lore dump, and some people would certainly find it to be bland and uninteresting. The good news is you don't need to listen to this episode to enjoy the rest of the podcast! Feel free to skip this one if it's not your thing, all the information presented in this episode will be more organically reintroduced as we play, so you won't be missing out on anything by skipping it. I hope those of you that listen to this episode can take some inspiration from our process and use it to prepare for your own campaigns in the future.
