Show Notes

Factions, groups of people with a shared motivation, are the ultimate shorthand for a busy worldbuilder on the go. They offer the ability to quickly determine what a character's motivations might be while hinting at great depth.

In this epsiode, Seth and James break down why factions are great, what uses they serve in a story and how to craft high quality factions in a short space of time. You can add them into your world like a rich teaspoon of paprika to stew adding depth and context to the setting, coloring characters with a richer tapestry of motivations and means, allies and rivals. We think you'll get a lot out of this!
