Rules:

  1. Follow Lemmy's Code of Conduct.
  2. Remain on-topic. Worldbuilding contains many areas of interest, so, when in doubt, explain how your contribution fits within worldbuilding.
  3. Give context in the comments of your post. This will help your audience engage with your creation and encourage interaction.
  4. Tag posts as NSFW if they contain images or discussion of extreme violence or explicit sexuality.
  5. Advertising should not disrupt the community. Self-promotion of projects related to worldbuilding are fine. However, you must be willing to engage with your audience.
  6. Love each other. There's a human on the other side of your screen, so treat them with respect.

Build a Setting in Only 1 Month! (imgur.com)

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!

Nice! I like that this is a little more granular/ niche than a lot of guides. Might take this up this month. Great work

Thanks! It was inspired by a post I saw a long while ago about how "There's always a war going on somewhere." And I came up with a list of what else just about every setting might have that might not be the focus of a plot.

The result is, potentially, a setting that feels a bit more lived in, but without a daunting amount of overhead such a project would take for any worpdbuilders out there!

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
