In the twelfth episode of Tabletop Tune Up, Mark and Ben dive into one of the most profound aspects of worldbuilding: religion. We’ll discuss the role of metaphysical beings and their non-fantasy counterparts, as well as institutional religion. From ancient pantheons in fantasy settings to the mysterious gods or powerful aliens of science fiction, learn how these "Powers" can shape the stories and characters in your game without reducing them to mere mechanics.
Additionally, we'll consider institutional religion, exploring its cultural impact and the opportunities it presents for storytelling and character development. Learn how to incorporate religious institutions in ways that enhance rather than constrain your game.
Join us as we continue our worldbuilding series, and stay tuned for upcoming episodes featuring more in-depth exploration of worldbuilding topics for your RPG universe.
