Worldbuilding Templates Project
We are currently compiling three templates at a time only (for efficiency's sake), you can find links to the compilation threads in this post
I've been super excited about this project for a while now, and it's finally launching, yay! The Worldbuilding Templates Project is a forum-wide project to develop question sheets for various worldbuilding elements. For those not sure, Worldbuilding is creation or expansion of settings by giving them more depth and detail. Playing in a well rounded setting can add lots of flavour and potential to your story!
Filling out a questionaire about a character can help you explore parts of them you didin't think of before, and it can do the same for your settings!
The end goal of this project is to have a huge index of templates/Bios/Character Sheets, but for worldbuilding aspects like houses, space stations, schools, etc. instead of individual people!
Each subject will get a mini (bare minimum, itty bitty template), Medium (fairly standard questions), and ultra (super detailed novella-length) template
We'd love to hear your ideas for subjects we could make templates for, so go ahead and post them in this thread! Remember that this is a project for the WORLDBUILDING GUILD, so templates should be focused on setting stuff.
We're going to be tuning three template compilation threads at a time until all three are full up; a scifi/steampunk-y one, a realistic/modern one, and a fantasy one. Lots of these templates could be used for many different kinds of worlds, so these themes are very loose and basically to make sure we're not compiling for Spells, Magic Items and Fairies and leaving fans of other world types bored at any point :-3
The links below are the current templates, and are where you can submit questions; once we figure we have every question that could possibly be asked about the subject, I'll sort the questions into the three template types, and post them in the guild for you guys to use!
