    Default Hidden-Street World Building

    FAQ

    What is world building?

    World building is simply the process of creating an imaginary world. Worlds can be created for a purpose (table top games, story writing, etc) or simply for amusement. Worlds could simply be a map or could be as extensive as having an active political and economic system.

    Do I NEED to make a map?
    No. However, a map is the easiest way to visualize your creation. Maps can serve as a good visual aid for your world.

    What program is needed to make a map?
    I personally use inkarnate. This is a free in browser map creation software that has an easy to learn UI. It does have limitations but should serve well for a basic map.

    Cool, I want to make my own world. How does the thread work?
    It's all up to you. If you want to have a world built only with worlds, begin fleshing out the world post by post. I will showcase all worlds created on the first post with an overview and an image of the map. This thread is to show off your progress and get constructive criticism on your world. I also just want HS activity ;-;

    Again, I haven't touched up that world in a long time and it was used for a DnD campaign that lasted about 2 months. I will post my current in-progress world tomorrow.

    I'm gonna make something real nice but I don't want to half-ass it. Give me a bit of time and it'll be legit.

    Thanks for the share. I don't think I'll be contributing, but it looks like a fun and potentially useful tool to keep in my back pocket.

    Current progress of about an hour tonight. Ended up scraping a large scale world map because I just wasn't able to be satisfied with anything I did on it.

    The end of the rivers (on the right) will be a mountain range. Races will be based on elvish descent (including humans). I think I'll plan on a biome section per day minimum for the next week or so.
