Hey TTRPG folks, worldbuilders, authors, etc.
Anyone up for another #WeekOfWorldbuilding? ๐
It's Monday, which means it's #AskACreator day!
Tag a #TTRPG creator in the comments and ask them a question about their work!
@dicefunctional.bsky.social What's been your favorite part about the #WeekOfWorldbuilding?
To celebrate this one-of-a-kind worldbuilding guide, we've been partaking in a community creative exercise called the #WeekOfWorldbuilding. Check out the hashtag to see how our setting has come together so far! You still have time to join in for Communications with @creativemagpie.bsky.social

Also, to cap off our #WeekOfWorldbuilding, our favourite bird has a bit to talk about! Much to say about communication, as it were!
If you've seen our #WeekOfWorldbuilding, you'll hopefully be as excited for this project as we are! Support What's My Foundation and get an indispensable tool for all GMs wanting to create rich, believable worlds full of history and depth. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bab...
Ok #WeekofWorldbuilding folks. Here's the moment every #TTRPG worldbuilder has been waiting for.
What's My Foundation? is live NOW on Kickstarter!
Back it.

#WeekOfWorldbuilding
Did we save the best for last? Maybe, but it's Kickstarter launch day, and it's worth talking on the subject of Communication! Now within a world, we often can think that information is just shared, but history and knowledge can easily be twisted or lost, no?
It's the last day of #WeekOfWorldbuilding, and What's My Foundation launch day!!! This has been such a fun event but I'm exhausted.
What a trooper Alex was today, and what a beautiful penultimate day of our week! Join us after one sleeps worth of time to ring in the final day of #WeekOfWorldbuilding with @creativemagpie.bsky.social tomorrow, as we launch the What's My Foundation kickstarter!
And that's our wrap for the history segment of the #WeekOfWorldbuilding!
I'm sorry the wrap up is so lengthy, but you should've seen it BEFORE I cut it down. (Yes, this is 'cut down'). 9 events is a lot to cover, even summarized!
Finally! We've answered all of the polls for today's history segment of #WeekOfWorldbuilding. Our last two results for minor events were voted on, and we arrived at:
5th minor event: Climate or Environmental Catastrophes
6th minor event: Monumental Construction or Infrastructure projects.
Fun!
Heads up to everyone, by the way: this #WeekOfWorldbuilding poll is going to be ending as soon as my Sunday D&D game is starting for the night. So there will be a gap between when the poll ends & when I can *actually* post the results, & then the wrap up. So hang in there with me guys! Be back soon!
The #WeekofWorldbuilding is wrapping up the History day very soon. Get your votes in for the third set of Minor Events to build out our timeline.
Here is our FINAL poll for the history section of the #WeekOfWorldbuilding! The final two minor events for the timeline! So help us out with these last votes, y'all!

Okay y'all, the results are in for our previous #WeekOfWorldbuilding poll!
And now, this next poll is going to be our last one for the day! We're picking our last two remaining minor events. Then, I'll note them down and serve up some historical lore details!

Y'all I just want you to know, I've been drafting some of my responses for the history lore wrap up for the #WeekOfWorldbuilding, only for the answers that we've already voted on, to get a little ahead of the curve and...
Woof guys I feel like this wrap up is gonna be a LONG thread ๐ญ
And our new poll for the #WeekOfWorldbuilding is up!
Please, pick your next TWO top choices, for the second batch of minor events in the timeline of our setting. If your previous vote didn't make it in the last swing, there's a chance you can get it in there this time!

Diving in! #WeekOfWorldbuilding
Okay everyone! So for the next poll for our #WeekOfWorldbuilding, please select your *top three* options for what you'd like to see as major events in the history of our setting! Poll is open for about an hour!

A relatively well established people...what does their history hold? ๐ #WeekOfWorldbuilding
For our #WeekOfWorldbuilding, the first poll results are in! As such, I'm going to settle on sentient humanoid history as having been developing for approximately 3,000 years now.
With 3 major events, that would put at least 1 major event every 1,000 years - with minor events sprinkled between.
Vote vote vote! Cmon TTRPG friends, we're nearing the home stretch for the #WeekOfWorldbuilding!
Time for more #WeekOfWorldbuilding goodness!!! Get those votes in!
And as someone still learning how to use Strawpoll: the poll now has a timer on it, ha, so it'll be running (at this point) for a little under an hour!
So if you'd like to help vote for the #WeekOfWorldbuilding starter poll on where we're going to start nailing out some history, now is the time!
Here we go!! History day of #WeekOfWorldbuilding with our friend @alexsgamingcorner.bsky.social ! I think this is gonna be a blast, come join in!
Also, before we start, many many thanks to @despisedsamaritan.com for posting the summary of what's happened so far everyday in the #WeekOfWorldbuilding -- for those of us out there (like me!) who, even though we've been following along, don't retain information well! It's been extremely helpful!
