Worldbuilding needs scarcity, and good names are the glue.

Less is more in worldbuilding, because TOO MUCH completely sucks. If you want to make your items, locations and creatures really pop, you need to make them scarce and give them a super cool name.

SAQ is a fortnightly D&D and TTRPG podcast.
Hosted by Matt (bald) and Sidney (they/them), based in Melbourne, Australia.
