Five players. One cutting-edge VR game. A world beyond the screen. When a group of beta testers step into World of Zumundo, they expect a next-level RPG experience. What they get is something else entirely. Locked in their avatars, stranded in a war-torn fantasy realm, and pursued by forces they don’t understand, they must fight to survive, uncover the truth, and find a way home, if one even exists. Together as they uncover the mysteries of the world, they discover that their arrival heralds much more than a step between worlds. Join Frederick, Alexander, Grant, Lilith, and Andrew in this gripping actual play Dungeons and Dragons podcast. When the fantasy stops being a game, what lengths will they go to find their way home?

The Easiest Way to Build Your Own D&D World (Without Burning Out)

Ever wanted to build your own fantasy world but didn’t know where to start?

Whether you're a Dungeon Master crafting your first homebrew setting, a fantasy writer working on your next novel, or just someone who dreams in maps and magic, this bonus teaser is for you.

In this special behind-the-scenes bonus episode of Roll4Real, I walk you through my personal, step-by-step approach to worldbuilding, designed to help you create a living, breathing setting without getting overwhelmed or burned out.

We’ll talk about:

Picking the perfect name for your world
Setting the right tone (from grim to whimsical)
Writing just enough history to spark story
Designing believable factions, pantheons, and terrain
AND knowing when not to overbuild

Along the way, you’ll get a sneak peek into Zumundo, the world of Roll4Real—my upcoming cinematic D&D podcast about five strangers pulled into the most immersive fantasy game ever created.
