Create a World — Step-by-Step

Create your own world in four steps: type, setup, story, then generate. It's free.

Last updated About 3 hours ago

You don’t need to write a whole world to make one. Pick how it plays, set its size and language, describe your hero and the story in a few sentences, and aiga_ builds the rest: places, characters, factions and the story path. Creating a world is free.

Go to Worlds and click Create World.

Step 1: World Type

Choose how your world plays. Each card shows its goal, how it ends, what’s at stake and whether it has to be shared.

The World Type step with four cards: Milestone Objectives, Single Objective, Kingpin and Interactive Story

Not sure? Milestone Objectives (RPG) is the classic adventure. See World Types for the details of each.

Step 2: World Setup

The World Setup step with World Size, Language and Reading Age

  • World Size decides how much there is to discover and how long the adventure runs:

Size

Places

Characters

Factions

Milestones

Small

4–5

4

2–3

4–6

Medium

6–10

6–8

3–5

6–9

Large

8–14

8–10

4–8

9–12

Huge

10–20

10–18

6–10

16–20

  • Language: everything in the world and its games is written in it. There are 16 to choose from.

  • Reading Age: Kids keeps the language simple and the themes positive. Adult allows complex stories and mature themes.

Step 3: Story

  • Narrative Tone: drag or click through the cards, from Lighthearted and Wholesome to Dark, Gritty or Surreal. Some tones are hidden for Kids worlds, and Risque (18+) asks you to confirm your age. Narrative Tones explains each one.

  • Hero: a name and a short description of who your hero is.

  • Story: describe the setting and the adventure. 50 to 200 words is plenty; aiga_ fills in what you leave out.

Tip: A good outline names a place, a problem and an ending. Say where it happens, what goes wrong, who wants what (name a few characters or groups), and where it should end. The Writing Guide under the outline has examples you can add with one click.

Step 4: Review & Create

Check your choices, use Edit to change anything, then click Generate World_.

The Review & Create step with the Generate World button highlighted

After you click Generate

  • Your new world opens and shows Creating World…. It usually takes up to a minute, and you’ll get a notification when it’s ready.

  • aiga_ writes the places, characters, factions, your hero’s stats and items, and the story path. Pictures come later: you make them in the World Editor or when you share the world.

  • If generation fails, the world card shows it. Click Edit & Retry to adjust your outline and try again.
