Editing Campaign Setting

{{stub}}

In [[role-playing games]], a '''Campaign Setting''' is the setting in which a campaign takes place.  Shocking.

A Campaign Setting is crucial to a good role-playing game, because it [[fluff|fluffs]] out the game, lending meaning to the dice rolls and spread sheets.

Plenty of role-playing game systems will come with one or more settings pre-made for gaming groups to use, to take some cognitive load off of prospective [[GM|GMs]], and thereby make it easier for people to jump in (and thus make it easier for people to justify buying more books).

Or a GM can design their own, doing research, world building, culture bashing to make a unique setting (they never are) and going so far as to make maps and customized figurines. 

A campaign setting can have many scales, from galaxies, down to a single neighborhood.  A well-crafted setting immerses the players, making them care about fabricated places and [[NPC|people]] that only exist on paper.

== Examples ==
* [[Setting:Unified Setting|The Unified Setting for /tg/]]
* [[Warhammer 40,000|The Grim Darkness of the 41st Millennium]]; [[Fantasy Flight Games]]' RPGs focus on specific zones in particular.
* [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle|The Warhammer World]]
* The [[World of Darkness]]
* [[Reign of Steel]]
* [[Endless Legend]]
