i recommend if you can afford it picking up the dungeon master's guide. it goes in depth about world building.
i think glork's second para is a good idea if you are new to it. establish the key concepts about your world first (how magic works/if it exists, what the gods are, what different races and factions are prominent etc) and then start to design the world.

figured i might as well bump this bc its incredibly awesome, is available to buy as a pdf here, and should be available to purchase a physical copy soon as well. it is absolutely fantastic and perfect for if you want a focused, narrative based rpg to play. also the lore is absolutely amazing

rogues are mechanically good but kinda boring imo
other than for forging identities

monks are cool, but bards are clearly the best
i play for style and exploration of the setting, characters etc, and bards are basically built for that
