Functional Worldbuilding: Creating Credible and Coherent Worlds

Good worldbuilding isn’t just about aesthetics or deep lore—it needs to be coherent, accessible, and serve both the narrative and gameplay.

This panel will explore how to craft game worlds that are not only engaging and immersive but also narratively strong and mechanically integrated. Key topics will include:

• Structure and consistency
• Integrating setting and game mechanics
• Cultural and social diversity
• Avoiding information overload and maintaining a strong narrative flow

Panel speakers:
???? Eleonora – Five Little Crows
???? Stef Kiryan – Author of Nella Morsa del Lupo and writer for Vileborn
