When you’re starting either a one-shot or a new campaign, what are the things you always want to be sure you capture about your new world? What features and details do you think are most important to establish to get the game off of the ground?

I’ve been reading Campbell and other works related to the Hero’s Journey architecture. My hope was that this would give me a better handle on making more interesting characters and satisfying plot arcs. Specifically, what I would like to get a better handle on is the idea of a hero that can overcome their flaws on their journey while also resolving the complex relationships between the other PCs on the way. What do you think about the Hero’s Journey? Is it a useful tool for RPGs?
