Tabletop Origins
The plot and characters for Soulcatcher have their origins in some of the Dungeons & Dragons adventures that I have played over the years. One Dungeon Master had asked each of us to write out a backstory for our characters, and what I had come up with became the main plot of the story.
Timeline Planning
With a sequence of crucial events that lead up to the story's present time, it was important to document these key past events, and the story events on a timeline so that the chronology will make sense.
I used different colours to represent the various characters. The red bar indicates the beginning of the story.
Because the story will involve the adventures of several characters, I used a more granular approach with a Google Calendar. This way, I would know exactly where characters would be at any given day.
Documenting the World
In order to bring the world to life, I created several documents in which I would record various parts of the world: the planet's origin, its history, the nature of magic, key locations, organizations, and its races.
