And yes - I know the place names on this map are corny! It's intentional!

And then you just immediately scrap the whole idea and start over again, at least that’s what usually happens to me 😂

Fantasy writers try not to name everything after a modern term and adding 'ia' on the end of it (IMPOSSIBLE)

Meanwhile im over here trying to figure out how a river would realistically flow through the terrain and using mountain rain shadows to create deserts and shit.

"Pollutia, Urbania, Aesthetica, Galactia" Wow, such amazing worldbuilding

[IshijimaKairo]

r/worldbuilding preparing to end your bloodline because you used an online tool instead of 36 ancient mapping techniques, don't have 3 degrees in archeology, geography, and Ancient History, didn't spend 8 years searching for the Holy Grail and didn't meet at least 2 Roman Emperors in person

And then the players will proceed to spend 90% of the campaign in one town😢

Stopped using it recently because my projects just refused to save. Unfortunate. It defeats the whole purpose

[thefoxita]

Spent 60 hours to make a world map, 30 more hours for the world history. It was so beautiful that I've decided to scrap everything and redo it two more times cuz I wasn't sure my players would have liked it, then downloaded a random map and went for it.

The feeling of creating your own world that you can get lost in is unmatched you just feel so proud

[thecursedonesbuddy]

Love the concept of a galaxy continent, OBSESSED with Caverns of Ill Repute, Ancient Grome and The Goose Matriarchy 😂

The how to train your dragon music at the end was a nice touch

Then the computer crashes you boot it back up but it either didn’t save or the save corrupted the one time you needed it not to and then you give up cause life has no purpose or joy anymore. The next day you get up start over again and everything goes well.

[glauberglousger]

The transition and feeling of how to train your dragon music was just right

[gamergeek]

Tom Hulce as Quasi Modo was just mwah with the acting and singing

[FabbeNJ]

And then there’s me, who just sat for 3 hours straight analyzing the walking speed of the characters of my own story, and looking at how much sleep they got, to figure out how long they walked because I lost my old map, and had to re-figure out the distances for everything.

The nostalgia of that song hits different

[sethstuffanimates]

[idk-ace]

The dude would love the game world box

[freealter]

Man my obsession with realistic geography is holding me back
