Worldbuilding – Walking in the Shoes of a Creator of Worlds

We’re thrilled to invite you on an immersive journey into the heart of worldbuilding with David Chevalier, author of Mog’s Chronicle and creator of Lilblin. In this panel, we’ll explore the creative process that turns a simple idea into a vivid, believable world – one that can capture the imagination and enrich any narrative, be it a novel, a role-playing game, or a multimedia project.

David will guide us through the core phases of worldbuilding – from creating unique settings to designing cultures, mythologies, and rule systems that make a universe feel coherent and immersive. We’ll talk about balancing creativity with internal logic, crafting environments that shape characters and plot, and adding depth and realism to every detail – from physical laws to social customs.

You’ll discover practical techniques for building compelling worlds, including:

• Geography and environments: how to design landscapes that shape story and tone.
• Culture and society: how to create believable peoples, traditions, languages, beliefs, and social dynamics.
• History and mythology: how to develop a rich backstory that defines the present of your world.
• Magic and technology: how to define consistent internal systems that enhance, not contradict, your narrative.

This won’t be just theory – David will share real examples from his own work, including how he brought Lilblin and the Mog’s Chronicle universe to life.
There’ll also be time for questions and discussion, giving you the chance to share your own ideas and receive advice on how to turn them into extraordinary and believable worlds.

If you’re keen to shape a story universe that inspires and immerses, don’t miss this deep dive into the art of worldbuilding.
