If this turns out to be good I'm gonna keep it in my back pocket for the next time I have a psych patient who really likes to creatively write (...and is also not actively detached from reality LOL)

This is the pixelfed album.

This is the google sheet (idk how else to make a set of 6 tables vision-impairment friendly)

What's your theme?
What's your plot?
Who's your hero?
Who's your villain?
Who's your side character?
What's your wild card?
...what're you doing with it?

I got:

Theme: Mystical lands
Plot: Redemption
Hero: Chosen one
Villain: Immortal tyrant
Side character: Mysterious guide
Wildcard: Griffins
I'm.... uhhh, let's see... writing a Cleopatra in Space fanfiction around it. 😝

I'd say it works great, well done! Also, is there a community on Lemmy about world building? If there isn't, there should be.

There's a couple I'm in that I was going to start posting in.

For Pathfinder: [email protected]

General Worldbuilding: [email protected]

Other than that pretty much any of the writing communities are open to discussion of worldbuilding.

~~(Those links are for the instance I'm on, I forget how to format that universal link and I'm being lazy)~~ A nice commenter below unlazied me.

There is also [email protected]

(To get a universal link you use !community_name@instance_name, so your links would be [email protected] and [email protected])

Thanks for the reminder on the universal link! I'll edit the links I posted earlier.

There is also [email protected]

Yeah, but it's lemmygrad, that's a pass from me 😬
