The team at Green Ronin are working towards another book releases for Fantasy AGE, the Campaign Builder, so they dived into a little more detail about it in a recent article.

The new book steps in to help those that need a little extra nudge in the right direction when it comes to creating their stories. As they mention in the article, the book is packed full of examples, advice, tables and other tools which help both veteran and rookie GMs get a handle on just how to build a campaign.

Every storyteller, even if they have been working on campaigns for decades, has a hole in their repertoire and books like this help to make the process that little bit easier when it comes to shoring up your weakness. Additionally, in these time-pressured years we find ourselves in having access to something which makes the process smoother is also helpful.

The set contains...

• Campaign concepts and frameworks
• Encounter building
• Adventure building
• Building rewards
• Character building
• Location creation
• Designing divinities and religions.
• Sub-genres and genre-specific campaign changes
• Running epic campaigns
• Monster building

...which sounds very useful for someone looking to build campaigns set in the Fantasy AGE universe. You could even use some of the aspects covered in this book for other roleplaying games too i reckon, especially around the designing of locations and background for your world.

Let us know what part of the storytelling toolset you're a little weaker on in the comments below.

For me, it's building good social encounters!
