how after so many fucking years there's not a compilation of actually useful, compressive worldbuilding resources? there's next to 0 guides out there on how to do anything that is not the blandest dnd clone ever and not even in deep, just superficial trash. is worldbuilding a lost technology among nerds?

the fuck is a worldbulding resource?
>>
There are fuck loads of them you stupid faggot.
>>
just get "X withouth number" books or some other random generator if you're lazy, there's plenty around
>>

I am including all the good advice in my RPG, be sure to buy it when it comes out.

>>97836873
What the fuck is that? Worldbuilding resources? Just read books, wikis, or fucking tvtropes
>>
>>97836873
If you’re too lazy to read source material, you shouldn’t be worldbuilding. It’s that simple.

I would criciticize the contradiction to want tools to help you make something unexpected but I dont really know how these world building books work.

Personally I do it by thinking up a setting I would like then shaping it so that individual actions matter, usually by having something horrible happen. Basically, for ttrpg settings to work you need a setting where players cant just call the cops or the national guard or any sort of aid. No one is coming so they have to solve the problems themselves. Apocalypse or government failures are good ones.

Wouldn't say that. You do have to skim through a lot of dndrone thinking tough.
>>
>>97836873
Is there a translation for this game yet?
>>
>>97836873
Because you shouldn't need a rulebook to exercise your own imagination.
