And some more mechanical questions:

What type of magic exists in this world? Pick one or two of the magic systems:
Faith (and Blasphemous Hatred), Sorcery (and Abstraction), Natural Magic, Spirit
Binding, Summoning, Enchanting.
Fe y hechiceria, tal vez magia natural.

If Sorcery is used, what's it's idiom? Does it require speech? Gestures?

sancionados y desde donde se avanzo el estudio de la misma.

If Sorcery is used, what spells are available? Which spells are inappropriate to
the game world?
Todo.

If is Faith used, what is the Faith idiom? What are the religions? Is Faith
universal or does it only affect believers?

character traits for each culture.
Para las razas humanas se van a establecer traits especificos, se�alando tendencias
geneticas o sociales.

What's your Resources cycle? 1 month, seasonal, 6 months, annual? What's the game
world's currency? Who collects the taxes? What do people do for work? What's the
major economy? What's the black market economy?
Por estacion. Las monedas hechas con aleaciones de plata. Cada nacion maneja sus
diferentes maneras, los enanos tienen el tributo, los elfos se manejan en
juramentos de lealtad, los reinos humanos mayormente dependen de cobradores
imperiales o recaudadores de impuestos por tierra.

Material world: What weapons and armor are available? Are some weapons and armor
restricted to certain cultures or character stocks? What property is available? Are
resources and gear otherwise restricted?
Todo lo basico.

The above questions involve culling and restricting options. Restrictions help lay
down definition and build the character of the world. They make it unique, rather
than a playground in which everything is permissible (which gets boring fast). The
following questions are about adding in game hacks:

Resources hacks: Are there special conditions on your world that necessitate
characters beginning with certain resources, gear or relationships? If necessary,
distribute 5, 10 or 15 resource points to each character so they may begin the game
in line with the vision of your world. (Don't take this one lightly, either. It can
break the game.)
No.

For power fantasy heroic games, start your players with a larger pool of artha. For
tighter, longer term, truly epic games, start your players with a tight leash on
artha.

Does your world necessitate certain traits for survival? An apocalyptic wasteland,
an undersea kingdom, sky realms, etc? If so, monster burn your characters! If you
want to use the LPs and settings as is, I recommend distributing 5-10 trait points
to each player to burn up custom traits for their dudes to be a part of the
setting.
No.

Add new lifepaths to suit the world and make them available, if not required, for
each player. A good tactic is to let players burn up stuff using the published LPs
and then say, "But your last lifepath has to be X." X being some cool thing that
you've come up with for your world.
