Beneath the Golden Moon
Creating the world
Even in a setting as restricted as Menekod and its environs, there is
a huge amount of background information. I cannot create it all, even
if I wanted to. Therefore, if I haven't create some background, and
a player wants it, there is a chance that I will ask that player to
create the appropriate details, in consultation with me.
Also, it is generally okay to make up incidental details about the
world which are of no great importance - an example from Without A
Doubt is a yellow ribbon that was found around a tree a few months
before the game time. If I have a problem with something that a player
creates, I will let him or her know.
