Daggerheart offers an alternative to worldbuilding that every TTRPG GM should try.

Daggerheart incorporates a collaborative worldbuilding model that not only instantly makes players invested in the world that they're about to explore, but also takes a lot of the heavy lifting off of GMs. One way that Daggerheart differs from Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and other campaign-length fantasy RPGs is that it encourages a collaborative approach to worldbuilding.

Putting worldbuilding into the player's hands comes with a few distinct advantages. It makes the players feel like equal partners in the campaign and they're more likely to understand the"rules" of the world and more importantly follow them if they had a hand in creating them. One of the biggest challenges to establishing a long-length campaign is player buy-in for the world, and having the players create the worldbuilding creates an instant level of buy-in for the players.

Even if GMs have an idea of a specific type of campaign they'd like to run, Daggerheart's campaign-building recommendations and worldbuilding rules can still provide a great collaborative experience. For my personal campaign of Daggerheart, I knew that I wanted to build out a"skyship campaign" where the players find a skyship and use it to explore a remote nation of sky islands above their home.
