Day 5: Character or Worldbuilding?
Hmm...
As a gamemaster I enjoy both, as a player I enjoy characters.
I have often said I am a bit of an oddity in my OSR crowd. I have said in the past that I explore characters and not dungeons.
To me, I love character development. Don't get me wrong, I love worldbuilding, but only insofar as it provides a stage for the characters to grow in.
Do I care about weather patterns or the price of grain on the local markets? No. I really don't. If it needs to rain, it is raining. If there is no grain then there is no grain. The only reason I need is how does it affect the characters in their situation right now.

Some "long-running" NPC's ... mostly World-Building...
