Forge World

A workshop for turning Stellaris event YAML into playable mods.

Forge World is the browser-facing workshop at Forgeworld.app: bring your own Stellaris event YAML, validate it, and render a mod ZIP. An accompanying ebook explains the craft of balanced narrative event design.

It shares the deterministic renderer and validator used by Phantasmagoria. It is not an AI event generator: the upstream generation pipeline stays separate and private.
