Scope
The motivation behind building Arrasgoth
The world of Arrasgoth is built for my D&D campaign, a world that is changing with the players inside of it. I had the vague idea but I let what the characters do affect the history and change the geography of the world. I have the main historical event, that they know about, and we work towards that and change the world in the direction that is heading. They know the vague outcomes but not how we get there or what it means for their characters.
The goal of the project
I'm hoping to get a full world out of this, filled with culture, historical events, poetry and prose, and a world that feels fully fleshed out in every aspect.
Arrasgoth's Unique Selling point
The hook is that this world is my baby, I created it with help from my D&D guild, and I've run with the idea to create it into my own, truly homebrewed campaign and world.
Theme
Genre
Currently it is a high fantasy setting in a medieval style world though there is technology heading in the steampunk sort of era. There is a clash between science and magic, with them both interweaving.
Reader Experience
It should feel both mystical and terrifying, but a world that feels real. I want it to feel like you can get fully invested in the world and that there aren't massive knowledge gaps. I want it to be an adventure for all!
Reader Tone
I would say the world is somewhere in the middle at the moment. It does have its dark moments and the feeling of impending doom, but there are also bright moments, laughter and fun. Much like a D&D campaign.
Recurring Themes
- Hope can overcome even the darkest of moments.
- Every action you take has a reaction on the world.
- History can be rewritten.
Character Agency
The characters have full ability to shape and change the world. The world adapts to the actions they take and though there is some things set in stone, it all comes from how they interact and the ideas they come up with.
