It's back, baby.

The Worldbuilding Templates Project is a community-powered project to put together lots of templates that help you bring depth and colour to your worldbuilding!

The Islands template is for making awesome islands, and focuses more on the physical islands than any cultures/man-made phenomena that may be on it; we will have more culture/people-centric targets that you can combine with to make better inhabited island profiles in the future! The islands template is packaged in three sizes for your convenience:

Mini: for builders on the go! Quick notes and need-to-know basics
Medium: For builders who want a bit more detail; dare to dig deeper!
Ultra: For crazy builders with too much time on their hands; get grilled with stuff you wouldn't have thought of and add unbelievable detail to your worlds!

I am back at Iwaku forever!! Do you still need help with these??
 
Got it! Thanks.
 
This sounds so very exciting! I look forward to participating.
>.> Do I just reply here to one of the templates? That would make the most sense, I suppose.
