Hey there, and welcome to the unofficial Pokemon Tabletop Community. This here is the place to discuss:
Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: A system built off a somewhat D&Desque framework, intended to help replicate gaming in Pokemon Media.
Pokemon Tabletop United: A system many of the devs of PTA built in an attempt to unify (hence the name) some of the disparate aspects of PTA, including the big one of making Pokemon and Trainers able to properly interact with one another in the system, as well as change a lot of elements viewed as unwieldy or unbalanced. This is the most common one of the three played, and is finished active development.
Pokemon Odyssey (formerly Pokemon Journeys): A system in active development, this system by the devs of PTU moves farther away from attempting to replicate the games exactly. Emphasis is put on making the game better for tabletop, even when some source accuracy is sacrificed in the process. People willing to run playtest games are always encouraged!
Pokemon Odyssey: The rules for that are currently in flux. To get rules for those, please join the PTU discord linked below.
Before summer holidays i decided to try to start writing a book, or at least, a long and engaging story. I wrote some months ago a short fanfic and the few people that read it like it very much.
However, writing something original sure is much harder. I was about to start writing before noticing i would need some world building beforehand. I started brainstorming what fantasy races, cultures, etc... i want. I took some notes in Obsidian of how i want the world & characters to be: Their flaws, their strengths.... Writing fanfic is much easier in my opinion, you have already all the fleshed out characters and detailed world.
Anyway, i didn't write a single line of the actual story and feel like i am wasting time planning everything about the world. It can be frustrating.
Did you guys get stuck world building too? What approach do you have with it?
