Sporangium

This is a book for game masters who feel the urge to create their own custom worlds without dedicating half a lifetime to detailed planning. Instead of setting everything in stone from the start, Sporangium embraces a method of emergent storytelling, where the world grows organically - and moss like - through play, evolving alongside the characters and their choices. At its core, Sporangium offers a framework for crafting low-prep adventures that unfold organically, allowing you to run sessions with flexibility and a narrative focus. It’s provides a simple step-by-step guide on how to create adventures and how to run them. Sporangium is system-agnostic, which means you can use it with your favorite game.

Within these pages, you’ll find a hands-on, step-by-step guide to creating a custom campaign world for roleplaying games through emergent storytelling and low prep.
