How to Start Worldbuilding: PART 1

...The Sandworms in dune don't make sense if you don't know their essentially the same as baleen whales...they mainly eat microscopic plankton living in the sand.

Even though im not writing a dnd campaign this will really help me write my characters for a little manga series im making as a hobbie

I searched "dnd worldbuilding" for some tips and lo and behold one of my favorite creators posted exactly what i need, Thanks!

Love the video, can't wait for part 2! I'm starting up another game after...a long while, so this helps out a bunch.

Always love longform videos from TUG! <3

Love the ripple idea, as the starting point! Fantastic point!

needed this, have been struggling with my world for years, I like making regions in the world and focus on smaller campaigns but connecting said regions and making a larger context of the world...nope things are not clicking into place.

I AM TAKING NOTES

Wow, right as i started writing my first campaign. You my good sir have impeccable timing 🤣

I think that videos like this are funny because with how intrinsically creative worldbuilding is, because the title implies that there is a right and a wrong way to worldbuild, regardless, these guides are useful to act as a seed for countless other projects from the viewers I think that an interesting part 2 would be to create an example world where you almost actively avoid following this guide you made, to show how creative and unconventional you could be when worlbuilding!

It's Blue! Yeah sheltie have two shedding seasons. Season 1 is January through June, and season 2 is July thru December. We need a Blue emoji!

Now if any Earth mountain looks like a weird fantasy mountain, Church Mountain would have to be it.

I'm planning to make a world with your jjk skill trees.

Actually, the eagles don't take the hobbits to mordor because they are beings around the same power as the wizards, so if they to be around the one ring, they would be corrupt3e by it

Hey, Goblin when will that Domain Expansion for players thing be posted? Also, if it's not too much, I would really like to see Cursed Techniques, or a Jujutsu Sorcerer class/subclass made. I'm working on my own skill tree type thing for techniques, but it would be cool to see someone else's ideas.

But now we've got to get an answer to this: Earthsea trilogy or the entire extended 6 books?

I think hp has a pretty soft system. There's no explanation on how you make spells or where the power comes from. There are no set limitations to what you can do with magic since spells can be created. There are also no limits to how much magic a witch can use, they don't get tired or run out of their magic. Soft systems can of course have limits, that isn't necessarily related to the softness or hardness of a system. I hope you're enjoying my home country! The nature is beautiful but I just hope the government would get its shit together lol

Can I use this for literature

I am trying to take notes, but I couldn't see all of the bullet points on bridging the gaps. Most the right hand side.

First
