Eran Aviram, writer behind the hit webcomic series Crystal Heart and Tabletop gaming expert, talks with Janet from World Anvil about building a consistent world and avoiding worldbuilding plotholes! We especially enjoyed his take on magic systems which make sense and his approach to villains!
Check out “Venture Forth”, Eran’s storytelling card game in which you play the entire campaign in a couple of hours. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/227988/Venture-Forth
You might also enjoy his articles series “Three Suggestions” which delivers thought-provoking content and suggestions of variant rules for Fifth Edition or Dungeon World.
