Building your own tabletop RPG worlds is hard. Thankfully, worldbuilding doesn't have to be a chore with these tabletop games, which have had me designing homebrew style D&D settings, maps, and lore like there's no tomorrow, and even getting great ideas for my novel. Of course, I'm sharing my new mass of worldbuilding games here so others can join me in the party pantheon, hopefully this list will take the stresses out of D&D worldbuilding for you, and make it fun again.
In case you're unfamiliar with the concept, worldbuilding is the process by which any setting you've ever seen in a game, movie, or narrative of any kind is designed. Some people do it just for fun, in fact, without so much as a story in mind. Worldbuilding comes in at every scale, and doesn't have to be a solo endeavour. Many of the worldbuilding games below are collaborative, in fact, so you can get your friends and players involved in the process.
