For a writer, world-building often feels like "the fun part." Culture, history, geography — it's all in your hands. But the core of any good story is the characters. It is through their strengths and struggles that the readers experience their world. In this talk, we’ll explore the relationship between world-building and character arcs in popular sci-fi and fantasy stories. If you write fiction or RPGs, you’ll gain insight into writing worlds that put your characters front and center.
