I'm just doing it for fun mostly, but I'm mostly a conlanger so it's also in large part just to be able to give some extra flavour to my conlangs based on the culture, history, etc. of the people who speak them.

I use them mostly for RPGs and occasional short stories.
I gained an interest in DND 5E some time ago and I didn't have anyone to play with, but I read the PHB and DM guide cover to cover and decided to use that time building a homebrew setting, so I made a map and started writing some history!
Doing it because I'd like to write a story some day. But tbh it's also become a way to escape and stretch my "creative muscles" so that's nice
I'm mostly just doing it for fun, but I might one day make a comic or write a book or something set in it. I've considered using it for TTRPGs, but it's too different from D&D and Pathfinder's default settings to really be compatible with the rules.
My world being the same way is what got me into Savage Worlds. Check it out.
Mostly just for fun but also for my Savage Worlds campaigns. I hope to write something in it at some point.
