1. The Checklists
These are the kinds of things that present you with a list of questions about your world, that you then answer as creatively as you want to. I find myself continually having to go back and add to them, because goodness sometimes I just want to write and not think about stuff that isn’t directly relevant to the plot...until it is. And then suddenly I have to think about the ramifications of that.
CRV’s Worldbuilding Checklists (originally from btot.de) - obviously more fantasy-focused
Patricia Wrede’s Worldbuilding Lists - a good balance between fantasy and other genres
2. The Masterlist
This link has nearly everything you can think of. It’s not the be-all-end-all, because nothing is, but it’s damn good.
r/Worldbuilding’s Resources List
3. The Visuals
Yes, there’s the ever-present AI-generated images, things such as Artbreeder or Wombo Dream, but sometimes you need something more concrete. Like maps. Or people.
Also, pay artists to make beautiful things whenever you can. AI art is designed to remove the actual humanity from the creative process, and while it’s fine for face claims or inspiration, I would never ever use it as, say, my book cover.
Alsoalso, learn a little something about graphic design. Please. Color theory. Rule of thirds. I beg of you.
Things I have used for maps:
Inkarnate - Browser-based, but almost entirely fantasy-focused
Wonderdraft - Large-scale mapping for countries/continents/worlds
Dungeondraft - Smaller scale mapping that shines when doing smaller areas, especially interiors (both ‘drafts are from the same creator, and are desktop only) There is not, as of yet, a Towndraft, although the community is ravenous for it!
I highly recommend the art packs from Cartography Assets, although if you’re going to use them in a commercially released work, do be a good human and pay the artists for their work! If you want to do sci-fi or modern maps, this is where to get your assets!
Things I have used for people:
HeroForge - A 3D tabletop miniature creator with a vibrant modder community. The free version lets you create as many figures as you want, but their Pro deal lets you organize them into folders, which I absolutely love. It also lets you save specific colors/materials to use across multiple figures, which saves a lot of time when creating folks with a shared uniform. You can even import people/outfits/poses from other figures! I’m told that facial feature modification, clothing patterns, and kitbashing are coming this year! (I’m a little addicted, as you might’ve noticed.) Best on desktop, but you can get a quick “sketch” done on mobile.
Picrew - A truly massive collection of portrait creators. The Discord associated with it is really helpful, in that you can frequently get links to creators that meet your specific requirements, like ‘must have elf ears and POC skin tones’ or ‘must have heterochromia and vitiligo’. This site got me through the roughest parts of 2020. Great for mobile.
Meiker.io - Similar in scope to Picrew, Meiker has a few treasures, including a lot from the now mostly defunct DollDivine, which relied entirely on Flash. There are a few that I return to again and again, but not many. Best on desktop and very easy to create your own creators.
Neka.cc - A Chinese-based site with a lot of similarities to Picrew, although a lot less diversity, both in skin tones and bodies. Great for mobile.
Storior gets an honorable mention because it has a ton of potential, with a lot more options in some respects, but precious few in others. Best on desktop.
Can you tell I really love these things?!
4. The Organizers
It helps to have somewhere to store all this information, right? Preferably in an easily accessed database? Perhaps with links or prompts?
These are the ones I’ve used:
World Anvil - Browser-based, incredibly detailed and complex, even for the free version. I found it to be too complicated to figure out, but maybe it’ll be your cuppa!
Campfire - Browser-based, mostly focused on writers, and has a suite of options that you can opt into or out of. This also wasn’t as useful to me, since there’s nowhere to put an outline!
Kanka.io - Browser-based, and just this perfect sweet spot between bare bones and overloaded. There are specific modules you can enable or disable, like in-universe calendars, dice rollers, character journals, etc. It’s my preferred option for organizing my world-building, outside of things like Google Docs.
I also understand a lot of writers like using Scrivener for their work, but as I have Linux, I don’t have any experience with it.
5. The Rest
So, a lot of world-building comes down to how well you know our world. I love world-building because it means I get to use all my education and interests together to create something that feels realistic to my readers and players. This is a time when ADHD is absolutely useful! Chase those squirrels! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve ended up reading an article on, say, rivers, only to end up with an idea for how leylines function in my world!
So here are my top 5 recommendations for figuring out how our world works:
Sociology! - If you want to know how different cultures interact, why certain customs come about, or just how a population reaches a decision, learn about sociology. It’s probably my favorite subject, and most useful to very culture-focused world-builders.
Geology! - If you want to know how your world fits together, what it’s made of, where things like mineral or gem deposits might be or how they might form... in addition to how rivers, lakes, and “strange” geographical features form, geology’s a great place to start.
History! - Okay, maybe this one is cheating, but I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read about something in history and thought “what if it went this way instead?” BAM, there’s a premise for you. (I have an entire novel idea built around that, told mostly through a writer interviewing a famous figure in this alt-history for their biography. After seeing the popularity of Dracula Daily, I almost want to release it like that...)
Ecology! - Oh man, if you want to figure out the botany and zoology of your world, ecology is a great place to start. It builds very nicely off of geology, and covers such a broad range of topics and how each of these pieces interact with one another - like how hydrology affects meteorology affects climate affects plant distribution affects animal distribution... which of course then affects culture!
I’m going to be sacrilegious in the eyes of some of my fellow world-builders here and NOT put linguistics - not because it’s not useful, just because it’s not a field I know much about. Instead, I’d suggest looking at world myths and religions. Yeah, it’s technically part of sociology, but if you’re developing a world from scratch, the creation stories that the sentient species tell themselves can inform a lot of their culture.
For instance, the world that Starcrossed, Amongst the Goblins & the Fishes, and The Silver Hand are all set in is an alternate Earth where magic never left the land. The creation myths in this world are much more centered around humanoids living in harmony with nature, rather than dominating it. In fact, some of the human societies have a specific taboo against desecrating the earth that is taken to such an extreme that other species, like elves and dwarves, occupy that niche instead, acting as stewards of the forest and mountain because they don’t have that same taboo. Part of these myths explain the existence of ley lines, and why they wither and die out (because of excessive logging, destructive farming/mining, or large-scale slaughter of creatures). Will this ever come up in Starcrossed? I highly doubt it. But it figures into the other two VERY prominently.
Phew! That was quite a tangent. Anyway - did I get any of your favorites? Do you have something you’d like to add? Should I make this all a separate page so it’s easy to access and update it regularly? Tell me things! Ask me things! I am an open book and love talking about world-building! Tell me where you’re stuck and maybe we can figure out a way forward together! (Also hmu on Discord, I am so mediocre at Tumblr.)

~✨Hi everyone! SketchieFoxie here with a Master Post!✨~
❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜🩷
❤️Asks are open! Please feel free to ask about my AUs or simply about me ^^❤️
🏳️🌈This blog is an LGBTQIA+ safe place! You’re all welcome here!!🏳️🌈
🐢This blog is mostly a TMNT blog, as it’s my Hyperfixation lol.🐢
✏️I’ll continue to update this master post as I come up with more ideas and such, because lemme tell y’all I got some good TMNT AUs I plan on writing out, rather than letting them fester within my silly brain XD✏️
“It’s a month after the invasion, and the Mad Dogs believe they’ve left the worst behind themselves.
Though their whole world is shook when none other than their future selves, not Casey’s future versions, but themselves come back to the past.
Something big is coming; something involving the Krang and the Foot clan, and it isn’t good.”
@inkypawprint and I are the creators of When I Was Younger which is a Rottmnt AU. It’s available on A03 and artwork can be viewed with the tag #WIWY
A collection of all the Undertale Au oneshots I’ve written. They all vary in rating and have warning tags. (Seriously, most of them contain some messed up 18+ stuff lol)
“Ink and Error magically fused, changing them into a fusion named Scrap and share a mind, body and soul. At first they simply try to live their lives, getting along the best they can. But as they delve into the multiverse, they change the fate of their whole world.
In this heartwarming and angsty story, follow Scrap as he explores a wide variety of AU’s, helps friends, fights off oncoming evil, and rekindles lost relationships with his abandoned children.”
@boxed-soup and I are the creators of Endless Adventure. @boxed-soup is the creator of the main character, Scrap. This story is currently on hiatus , and will be focused on later this year, as it only has one chapter posted. The rest is all in the rough draft stage lol.
“This is just the beginning. Ink has no memory’s of his prior life, and isn’t sure if he even had one. One things for sure, every little chain of events is leading up to something huge.”
EveryTale is on permanent hiatus as in all honestly, I couldn’t get the plot figured out, and the bulk of my ideas went into Endless Adventure. You can find artwork for EveryTale under the tag #EveryTale or here on my DeviantArt
My master list is under construction currently, and some of my fics are going to disappear for a little bit. I'm redoing any imagery that wasn't credited or sourced, so they'll be coming back in completely new posts without banners. I'll try to leave tags for the people who were in my original tag lists and comments.
Sorry if this is a pain, but I did something dumb without thinking or realizing it at the time, and I would like to correct it and not ride that wave in the future ~
as much as job hunting and prep is horrible, getting to look at tons of concept artists is actually fun and delightful,, i love you concept artists SO MUCH actually y'know what heres some links to my fav ones im looking at rn
Christina Zhag (The Museum project is DELIGHTFUL)
Sophie Li (Gobelins students r neverendingly crazy good)
George Park (absolutely delicious environment work)
Josh 'Badger' Atack (his sketchbook work makes me CRAZY)
Hi there! Is there a place where you sell prints of your artwork? I would love to frame a bunny xie lian of my very own, but don't want to print out your artwork without compensating you in some way - hopefully you have a site where we can buy?
Hello, anon!!!!
I'm not an artist. This blog only shares artworks (and the occasional rambling); my profile picture was created by naixaie!! (they granted their permission to be used as such) you can find their amazing works here.
Also, here is a list of some artists that I love to reblog and their sites where you can buy prints, stickers, and more!!!
