What is worldbuilding?

Worldbuilding is the process of constructing an imaginary world or setting, sometimes associated with a fictional universe. Developing the world with coherent qualities such as a history, geography, culture and ecology is a key task for many science fiction or fantasy writers. Worldbuilding often involves the creation of geography, a backstory, flora, fauna, inhabitants, technology and often if writing speculative fiction, different peoples. This may include social customs as well as invented languages for the world.

What do we mean by 'GMing'?

Being a GM, or GameMaster (DM/DungeonMaster for those who are Old School) involves planning, research, organization, creativity, player engagement and, at all times, a social awareness of both what your players are looking for, and what they themselves might be going through. Turns out, Life affects one's Game, and staying in tune with your players helps the entire table have a safe and enjoyable time.
