If I want to develop a smaller setting is world building still an appropriate tag? I have an RPG concept that I've been working out for a few years, and I've never been able to really run it.

I essentially want to conduct a campaign at what I imagine 'Miskatonic University' looks like in the 50's or 60's. Use essentially the Fate system for magic with some universe specific feats and tweaks, and try to encourage a large variety of roles for the player characters. I've successfully run one good home brewed campaign that was kind of a knock off of 'Sphere,' real deep sea terror and old gods type stuff.
