It is a very detailed list. I am trying to build a world but after watching your video I realized that I forgot many important aspects that make my world better and interesting. Thank you !
Thank you for the kind reply! I'm happy you found it useful 💜 I want to make even more resources like that in the future. No option for multiple thumbs up unfortunately, but a share is always appreciated 😉
I have been building a homebrew world with my gaming group (s) for a long time and this is great material. Thanks for another fantastic video. Some of the prompts happened organically in game over time and through several campaigns and others I am now definitely considering.
This list is like 50% me and 50% the community on Discord, I asked for their help to come up with these and they really killed it! I hope to make even more of these during November to help anyone who wants to take #NaWorMo
Got any more prompts for us? Share them with us in the comments!

This is an awesome resource Aviad! Liked and saved for when I actually make some time for world building!
Thanks Bob! I hope it serves you well 😊 I'm going to have a LOT of worldbuilding in November, so you can 100% expect more content for that soon.
