Build a Setting in a only a Month! (imgur.com)

submitted 2 years ago by Clasm to c/worldbuilding

I've made a bunch of prompts to work with different scales such that I've can build up their setting with as little work as fleshing out a single prompt everyday for a month!

For each each day this month, choose a prompt from one of the Scales you need for your setting (Local, Region, World, System, Cluster, or Galaxy).

Alternatively, you can choose multiple prompts each day. The goal remains the same, chip away at various sections at your setting that one might not normally consider, and by the end of the month, you'll have a fairly fleshed out strong for any project you might have!

Thank you for sharing this. I'm more of a "one-project person" which goes against the idea of the chart, but it's really useful for my existing world, too - my motivation can be rather... inconsistent, so the prompts give me something to think about. I like that they include small details like basic terrain or landmarks and day-to-day life. ☺️ Working on the big picture all the time isn't quite as fun as all the little things that make it pretty.

No problem! Good luck on all of your projects!

This is great. I've been working on a few projects and almost sidelining the worldbuilding a tad. I've been meaning to flesh out a few more things and get some inspiration for expansion. Looking forward to working on these! Though I wish it was posted just a bit before the month began ;)

I'll keep that in mind if I post this again at some point. Like before November or October.

Just realized there's a mistake on the scales.

Here's the fixed one: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16SyhzsbYSfGqVcXIAcirpeh_P5gmWkBW/view?usp=drivesdk
