Ah. If you made it I was gonna PM you and talk CSS with you and pick your brain, but website builders are not bad. Good work either way.

Wow. Did you make this?

When I need names I often don't need to have any obvious meaning. You can always give it a meaning in some language in your story's world if you need to. There are a few decent fantasy name generators out there. I'm a bit of a coder, so I've written my own name generators in Python for different...

I wasn't a fan. Like others here, I don't appreciate the ring being overplayed, I don't like the inclusion of Sauron either. I felt character development went out the window. And the cross-species sex interest was annoying too.

It doesn't matter IMO unless it features in the story somehow. If you're exploring some economic ideas, that could be interesting. Play around with wampum like currency, or have paper currency tied to the value of copper. But if you're not trying to speak to economics in some way, my opinion...

Well, it's not a hard science, so whether or not its language is in line wtih what's fashionable doesn't make it any less useful.

I like the idea of what's going on here. I'll have to check back again soon.

A blog should be whatever you want. You don't need to focus on a particular niche. As you blog, you will probably find that there are a limited number of things you blog about, and you can find some definition for the blog in that. Every person is different, and your blog can be interesting if...

REad this: Medieval Demographics Made Easy

Personally, the next step (if you must worldbuild all of it first) is to make the nations and/or cultures. Again, I wouldn't do all of them, you never know if all of your world will even feature in the stories. Doing that, you might need a very basic idea of the physical geography (rivers...

As awesome as world building is (and I love it), once you get some very basic things down I would recommend to start writing. Then you can fill in details as they pertain to your story.

Wikimedia commons is a good resource for finding decent pictures of places or things that you might not be able to go see yourself.

Examples here: Majestic plural - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This site is great, especially with the advanced setting. It actually probably wouldn't be that hard to make a simple program that spits out names in keeping with the general type of names you want for different countries or plaaces or whatever. Until i get around to doing that in Python, I...
