worldbuilding

So, I've been playing it 'fast and loose' with my fantasy based world, there's a nice blend of 'regular' modernized tech (They have things like small portable tvs and soda machines, but also much more advanced things are legitimate magi-tech) but one thing I wrote recently I'm somewhat curious...

Hello, I just wanted to know what you think of my mythology. I am not an English speaker, so all of this is translated from DeepL. Sorry if there are a lot of mistakes xD The Song of Primordial Flesh In the beginning, there were no worlds, no laws, no life. Only Thalrûn existed, the Primordial...

You know, stuff like Blue Milk from star wars or Butter Beer from Harry Potter, or Giggle Juice from Fantastic Beasts. I tend to not make too many fictional foods in my stories cause I never know how relevant they will be. When I do make them I tend to make them based on an actual thing. I have...

Purpose Worldbuild a d&d campaign booklet. Design Worldbuilding in d&d generally creates a setting but leaves the adventure an open sandbox. Lost in Freyda campaign is being built to provide a "choose your own adventure" approach giving players multiple choices (more writers will result in...

I'm looking for name ideas for the northern capital of my world which is similar to Scandinavia with a bit of a fantasy take

I saw a post by sgbii with their map which has a lot of interesting feedback, so I thought I'd throw mine in here too, to see what you all think. I made the map with INKARNATE MAP (REDDIT)

Hello. It's been a long, long time since I posted here. But I have returned, older and (supposedly) wiser. But we can catch up later, for now I posit a question. What does a religion look like when you worship a dead god? I'm not talking about a god that's fallen out of mainstream favor, like...

Hi! One of my preferred pass times is to world build a bit! I ended up writing a short piece of fiction that I hope to share with y’all soon that I never meant to be anything special, however I’ve been thinking about it and it’s been expanding a bit. Recently I thought of how magic might work in...

I was trying to come up with some kind of creation/origin story for my fantasy world as it exists in the main part of the story, and have run into a bit of a race issue.
