[How To] Start a Full-Feature Roleplay

[WTF RPG Staff]

Developing Your Game World

After finishing up your RP's profile and hitting “Save Roleplay,” it's time to build your Game World!

Click on the Game World tab. Here is where you'll see a list of settings that exist in your game. Think of these different links as various locations within your RP.

To create a new location, click on the "New Place" button:

This New Place page will give you the options of adding another location to your game world. Here, you can fill in:

- Place Name
- Parent Location (Do you want it grouped with other locations? Or is it independent?)
- Player Access (Do you want players to see this location? Do you want to lock it?)
- Place Image (Upload an icon so we know what this place looks like!)
- Description (1-2 lines explaining the setting)

Saving this Place will add a new location to your Game World and allow players somewhere new to post.

Be as detailed or as vague as you want! Creating multiple locations can give players the chance to participate in various timelines at once, or play different characters who may not interact with each other. Small Game Worlds have some positive aspects too, like creating a close-knit community of characters who keep all action contained within one easily viewed thread. Experiment a bit to see which RP style suits you best.
