Culture, Community, and TTRPG Campaign World Creation | Free Country\Polity Planning PDF Download

This video suffered a bit from "project creep." I had most of it done a month ago, but only did the outdoor standups yesterday. Note that the Autropa Campaign Setting Design Document can be downloaded below. This video talks about the concepts of culture and community from an anthropological perspective; it also discusses how to effectively use those concepts for world-building your own campaign settings.
