Welkin is the name of my setting for running games and roleplaying in D&D 5e.
Welkin Worldbuilding
Some of the posts on this blog will be exploring the worldbuilding of Welkin. I will use this space to work through, for myself, the reasons guiding what I will be creating in the Welkin setting. I plan to use a few levels to facilitate organizing the different articles on the site. These will be marked Meta, Macro, Medium, and Micro based on the scope of the contents.We will look at the worldbuilding of Welkin from a Meta point of view. These will be posts useful to DMs discussing worldbuilding itself, as well as offer guidelines I will be following to do my own worldbuilding. Other posts will be the worldbuilding itself. Macro content will be top-down in nature. Micro content will be individual locations, NPC’s and items which will go directly into my game. Medium content will be things that don’t fit in the other categories. Gazetteer articles, adventures, and the like. Some posts will be in-setting material: stories, letters and other ephemera which may be used to give to players or to just build up the world for the DM.
Meta: Worldbuilding and how to approach it using Welkin as an example
Macro: Top-down looks at the overall setting and major forces at play
Medium: Gazetteer articles, adventure ideas, stories and letters, calendar discussions & ect.
Micro: Locations and NPCs for tabletop use
Other posts will be providing D&D homebrew material, ideas for converting Welkin into other RPG systems and whatever else I may get up to on this blog.
Welkin Works Blog
Organizing my thoughts enough to write them down really helps me to get a solid handle on what I am doing. I am writing this blog as a sort of conversation with myself which will leave a record. I present it here in the hopes that watching me go through the process of worldbuilding will help others with actionable examples to fuel creation of their own world.Thanks for coming along on this ride — Ellery— 7/28/19 8am Grand Rapids, MI
