How Worlds Are Born
A world is built as connected cause and effect, not a loose collection of names.
1. Your concept sets direction
Describe who you want to be, where the world exists, what makes it interesting, and the tone you want protected.
The concept can be fictional, historical, contemporary, or rooted in a real place. Specific years and locations keep grounded worlds anchored.
2. The interview settles the important choices
The Genesis interview asks three to five questions tailored to your idea. Your answers decide the parts a single concept leaves open, such as the balance of power, the central tension, or the role you want to play.
3. Four stages connect the world
- Foundation establishes regions, physical rules, resources, and social shape.
- Powers establishes factions and the relationships between them.
- History creates the events that explain the present.
- Present creates the opening cast, objectives, tensions, and entry point.
Each stage builds on what came before. People inherit history. Factions grow from the setting. The opening scene belongs to that same world.
4. The world becomes playable
When the build passes its health check, Creation OS moves directly into character creation and Play. World records continue to update as your actions change people, places, factions, property, equipment, and objectives.
