Hello everyone! I guess I should start with a little about myself. I've been gaming a long time. I was going to say I have been gaming for “this many” years but then I saw the number and felt old, very, very, old. Anyway as I've gained experience (no pun intended) I've found that I require more. Not just from the games, but also from the system. This search for more is what led me to HERO (that and I have inherited a lot of HERO books and PDFs.) I have only come to HERO recently but I've come to learn that it's a wonderful system. So, thank you, Hero Games!
Enough about me. My goal is to build a world, shocked, I know, but I want it to be a good one, so of course I came here. One of the things that I love about HERO is the “tool kit” philosophy. The system lends itself to world building, and you kind folks have experience with the system. That was the last platitude, I think. So with that in mind... I would like to ask the forum about world building. To start with, what tools do you use to keep track of everything? What are some questions that you ask as you're building your world? What are some common traps, and what are some ways to avoid them?
If I have put this in the wrong forum please move it. And sorry If I have preformed some thread necromancy. Now if you'll excuse me I have an ant hill I need to boil...
