Show Notes

War, war never changes, and it’s everywhere. At least in fiction. When we think about war in stories (except for the most gritty retrospectives) we think about glory, battle and the horrors of conflict but we rarely think about the folks at home and what troops would get up to during downtime. What does an average Imperial in the 41st millennium think of the never-ending war? What is it that drives a population to continue conflicts that may be costing them dearly? In this episode of the WorldCraft Club podcast James, Marcos and Seth talk about the parts of war that are felt in a more subdued and mundane way, the way that many inhabitants of your world will interact with it. This will add depth to your settings where war is a prominent factor.

Note: Not gonna lie, this episode is Warhammer 40k heavy, you’re in for a treat.
