Mythology
Manage episode 325690298 series 2966115
For the season final I'm joined by Ramji, DM of The 4th Culture, an Asia-based TTRPG show which focuses on global voices and set in an Asian-influence homebrew world. We discuss global mythology and it's impact on TTRPGs, such as it's inherent euro-centricity and how this has affected published settings and games around the world. At it's core, D&D is collaborative storytelling, so it's more similar to folklore and myths than you might originally think! We go on to discuss tips for creating homebrew mythology, such as leveraging different systems and approaches to world building, along the way sharing our own anecdotes and cultural experiences.
- 02:51 - The Difficulty of Mythology in D&D
- 13:47 - Digging a Little Deeper
- 24:29 - Building In-Game Myths
- 37:02 - Telling Stories Through Maps
- 42:29 - Telling Stories Through Language
- 56:44 - Linked by Humanity
