Hey, let’s create a compendium/library of resources for world-building that all the world-builders on this site can use, for settings for tabletop campaigns/sessions or otherwise. The /wbg/ thread has some in the opening post, sure, but what others would you recommend, be they books, random generators, podcasts, other websites or programs, etc., and for races, magic systems, geography, and more? Good luck with your endeavors, and happy hunting!
>>98027613>Worldbuilding ResourcesYeah, its called a Library. Go read books published before the 90s.
>>98027613>podcastsdo zoomers really?
>>98027613op i really need you to understand that people aren't going to contribute to a project if they don't see you working on it too.
>>98027613Try the worldbuilding general.
>>98027613go to the worldbuilding general, open the worldbuilding for newbies link, check out the resources.Everything you want already exists, you are just too lazy to find it. stop posting this stupid thread
>>98027861>>98027613Oops, I meant to add a few links to get it started, mainly some random generators, not sure why they weren't in the OP, sorry. >https://www.rangen.co.uk/world/worldgens.php>https://perchance.org/world-building-generator>https://springhole.net/writing_roleplaying_randomators/index.html>https://springhole.net/writing/index.html>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vx3eLrbP0H0
>>98027613Do you actually want resources, or do you just want a pet thread that you can mindlessly spam with bumps for the next two months? Because if it's the former then you should've gone to /wbg/.
Saw a youtube vid about some new not etaking app for worldbuilding, called chronicler, but I don't know how useful that actually is, I use obsidian and will continue to do but perhaps it's interesting for someone else
>>98027613Does anyone have anything specifically for designing races please? I haven’t been able to really find anything that looks like it’s worth checking out.
>>98027613Doing that. It'll be a wiki. 392 links to go, plus a lot of the old list.
>>98027613I'm not sure where even to begin

>>98027855It's boomers and millennials who feel really into that shit the most
>>98027613What YouTube channels specifically would you recommend? OSP is a great one in my book, both informative and funny, lol.
>>98035401Thanks! Let us know when it’s done!

>>98035401I'll be eagerly awaiting this.>>98043389If you're interested in religion and anthropology thereof, then I'll take the opportunity to shill these two:>Let's Talk Religionhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9dRb4fbJQIbQ3KHJZF_z0g>ReligionForBreakfasthttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCct9aR7HC79Cv2g-9oDOTLwThe latter has a PhD in religious studies, if that helps his credibility.

>>98043389Just in time worldbuilding channel is legitimately decent and the person running it is extremely passionate about all aspects of worldbuilding.
>>98047509Yeah, I thought they were great for helping with worldbuilding.
>>98035401that's nice but does it actually have any succinct actionable resources like tables or quick workflows?
>>98049058Not sure, gimme an example of "succinct actionable resources" or "quick workflows", this shit sounds like stuff I read in Linkedln.
>>98046212>I'll be eagerly awaiting this.I'll do my best.

>>98049393I dont want to read 300 pages of some guy talking about how to worldbuild or 40 pages of some guy talking about population numbers of medieval towns. I dont want shit to be encyclopedic, I want quick actionable resources which actually let me get shit done. Every single thing I spend time on should result in my world being closer to be ready to use.
>>98050389It's the link list, revised and expanded. I won't try to teach anyone. Some of the links might.I'm considering adding stuff like "why thermal vents don't work for underwater forging, stop spreading this shit" plus links for alternatives.
>>98049603>>98047392Thanks.
