THE THREE QUESTIONS THAT BUILD A FACTION FAST
Whenever you make a faction—dungeon or wilderness or city—ask three questions:
What do they want?
Not “what do they believe.” Not “their backstory.”
What do they want this week?
What do they have?
Soldiers, gold, information, magic, a monster, a legal charter, the only clean well in town—something real.
What are they afraid of?
Because fear creates urgency. Urgency creates action. Action creates play.
Write those three answers on an index card and you are 80% done.
Now you add the one thing.
Who do they hate… and who do they need?
Faction Card Template (steal this):
Name (short, usable at the table)
Want (one sentence)
Have (one sentence)
Fear (one sentence)
Tell (how the players recognize them fast)
Then add:
One ally
One enemy
One job they’d pay for
