I worldbuild without playing, but I love it
As the title says, I’m not currently playing in any campaign. I love D&D though. I love playing, and I’ve DMed before too.
I’ve played both live and online, and it was all great.
But right now, I just can’t play. My friends and I all got busier with jobs and life, and you know how that goes.
I’ve always liked writing and developing worlds, but I’ve struggled with creating fully original settings or fleshed-out book-style stories. I can write a short story here and there, but I usually end up scrapping them pretty quickly.
That’s where D&D comes in for me. I absolutely love developing stories, characters, ideas, and even mechanics for the game. It lets me take a framework I already enjoy and build onto it creatively.
I think it’s amazing how a game created decades ago still inspires so much creativity in people — not just active players, but fans in general.
Can anyone else relate?
