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.
Also, is there a community on Lemmy about world building?
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.

Yeah, but it's lemmygrad, that's a pass from me π¬
Very cool tool! Thanks for sharing. :)
My results:
theme: Space Exploration
plot: Temptation
hero: Swift Archer
villain: Mad Scientist
side character: Scheming Courtier
wildcard: Phoenix
You didn't tell me what you were doing with it so Imma go: I'm thinking your swift archer is reeeaaal good w/that laser gun. That mad scientist is doing all kinds of plotting about resurrecting people (or keeping people from being resurrected???). That courtier is both of your love interests at the same time and angling either way depending on which of you wins but has a soft spot depending on who they think is more right. Is it the person saving people from death? Is it the person preserving the natural order and the beauty of the ends of stories? Well I suppose that would lay in the hands of any eventual author...
Theme: Prehistoric Times
Plot: Temptation
Hero: Clever tinkerer
Villain: Greedy business tycoon
Side character: Scheming courtier
Wildcard: Fey
I'm not quite sure how to work a business tycoon and courtier into something set in Prehistoric times, but I'm definitely intrigued on the sort of story I could come up with for this prompt.
Thanks for sharing this! I really enjoy it, especially since I want to write more. I think I might workshop this prompt a bit cause it definitely got some juices flowing.
I feel like it's obvious. Georg just invented the spear, Urgug is gonna steal the idea to make a profit, and they are both obviously planning to profit in the world's oldest currency. But it also turns out spears and such technology in general are weird fey magic. Gods forbid someone bring one of those creepy fires or wheel things into this situation!
Set ~150 years in the future, where humans gained the ability to augment their bodies with all kinds of implants. A middle-aged doctor decides to offer her services for free for people who need them, after she has seen the suffering that people cast aside by mega-corps have to bear. Noticing that many of her patients suffer from malfunctioning implants, that were practically forced on them by their workplace, so she contacts an old friend. This friend is sympathetic to her cause and offers their services as an electrical engineer specialized in designing interfaces between nerve systems and implants. Together they discover that these malfunctions are intentionally created, so corporations have another stream of revenue.
By helping the affected people, they slightly cut into the profit of a certain corporation, that sends a covert operative to check what is going on. After the doctor is "discovered", this operative gets the order to eliminate the thread to the corpo's profit. He decides to pose as a patient in need and assassinate the doctor, but fails for some reason. After that, he uses some kind of implant/tech to change his appearance to approach the doctor again (and uses swords, maybe?)
YOU.
You understood the assignment.
Thank you, but I just wanted to try one of these for once :D
Mythic Greek World Rescue Fierce Barbarian Serial Killer Eager Apprentice Androids
trying to find a way to work all these components together (especially the androids) is an interesting thought process, though i think having them be divinely powered is what iβm leaning towards. like, no one knows how they work, and so they kind of revere them.
for the rescue plot, i think the eager apprentice sounds like the right one to need rescuing. too eager, not careful enough maybe. captured by serial killer i suppose, who could be an android for extra funsies, and the barbarian main character gets to go save them. probably all while realizing/coming to terms with the fact that they actually DO like the apprentices company and miss them, despite finding them very annoying in the beginning.
i think itβs a cool idea and gets you to stretch some creative muscles with connecting some unrelated ideas and imagining what a story involving these elements might be like :)
