Showcase

Post about finished or work-in-progress worlds here. The Showcase is a good place to get commentary, critique and generalized help on your worldbuilding projects.

This forum is not for stories. It is for posting descriptions of the worlds you have made, including lists of characteristics.

Worldbuilding is a fun and engaging passtime, and can be an essential element in a writing or artistic career. The WBC is the place for worldbuilders of all sorts to gather-- and this forum is a place for topics of all sorts to be discussed.

Other Worlds Chat

A fan of Robert Jordan? Tolkein? Terry Pratchett? The Wachowski Brothers? Daeluin Online?

OW Chat is the place to post topics on the worlds others have made, especially those that have been published, used in movies, made into RPGs, et cetera.

Beginners' Forum

Sure, a lot of worldbuilders started young and just never stopped. This doesn't mean that there aren't people new to the hobby.

This is a great forum for people just starting in worldbuilding, whether you need to whip up a world for a roleplaying site or have some extra creativity and want a project to put it into.

Post here with your questions, comments, first efforts or whatever.

Current Collective Project

We're a Worldbuilders' Collective, and this is the world we're collectively building. Everyone is welcome to participate!

We'll post a map, and eveyone gets to contribute to the projects, posting up glossaries of terms, locations, cities, histories, cultures -- whatever you want!

Please don't claim a bit of map and make a civilization all on your onw. Just post your work here as you go, and we'll all work together, adding to what each other have begun.

Finalized details will be pinned.

Join in!

General Advice

One of the goals for the WBC is for it to be a place to get advice and discussion on worldbuilding, and to touch base with fellow WBers.

The General Advice forum is where you post things you need help, advice, comments or critique on. If they don't fit in another Advice category, they go here.

Advice&Discussion: Physical Aspects

Geography, geology, physical history, architecture-- how your land looks and is laid out can have a strong effect on any stories played out within it.

Advice&Discussion: Physical Aspects is the place to discuss geography, mapping, environment and all that good stuff.

Advice&Discussion: Languages

From a glossary of a few words to an elaborate, grammatically unique construction, a fictional language can add depth and believability to your world.

The Advice&Discussion: Languages forum is a good place to give/get help with, or discuss, fictional languages, glossaries, writing systems et cetera.

Advice&Discussion: Religion

Sentient beings often have a need for religion, and in some worlds, the gods even exist. A religion can add a lot to your created world, and sometimes can be essential for an intended plot or culture.

Advice&Discussion: Religion is the forum to give or receive help and discussion on creating an interesting, realistic or just fun religion for your world.

Advice&Discussion: Politics and Culture

How do people behave? What is the system of rule? Is there political content, or utopia? These can be some important questions when you're creating a world.

Advice&Discussion: Politics and Culture is the forum to ask, answer or discuss these sorts of questions.

Advice&Discussion: Technology and Science

Because not all build worlds that are set in pre-industrial or medieval eras, we have for you a forum to discuss technology and science.

Advice&Discussion: Technology and Science understands that there was technology also in our world's medieval times, so heck - post it all here: Science, alchemy, steam engines and spaceships.

This is the forum for chatting about specifically non-worldbuilding stuff. Celebrating a birthday, announcing an absence, posting a good joke - it all goes here.

Artwork

This forum is a good place to post artwork relating to your worlds that doesn't fit in some other forum. Just want to showcase some worldbuilding art, or maybe get some advice? Got some drawings of costume and weaponry, or maybe a doodle of a spaceship or wizard's staff? Put it here.
