Describe the architecture style common to places of governance in one of the nations of your world? Does it differ from the more common architecture of that land?
#worldbuilding #storydevelopment #writingcommunity #writersky #writingprompts
Unless you count walking, probably horses and carriages.

The main continent Re: Shattered Memories takes place on is the most advanced. But some areas of it are more developed than others.

In Kaleidoscope trains show up most both subway and maglev. It’s NYC. No one drives, there’s too much traffic.

What is the most common mode of transportation seen throughout your story?
#ttrpg #authors #gamemasters #worldbuilding #storydevelopment #writingcommunity #writersky #writingprompts
Local? Walking, horses, and carriages. Long distance? Carriages, horses, more walking, and boats. Not in that order. All in Re: Shattered Memories.

In Kaleidoscope the megalopolises across the U.S. have more advanced and developed infrastructure while outlying and rural areas have fallen behind. What they do have is not well built or maintained.

What is the infrastructure like in different regions of your world? How do they differ? Is one area more advanced than others? Why?

What are the most common modes of local and long distance travel?
#ttrpg #authors #gamemasters #worldbuilding #storydevelopment #writingcommunity #writersky #writingprompts
There are. You need to go through an apprenticeship program to join a guild. From there, guilds basically have monopolies on producing certain goods for the city they're in.

Technology helps a lot. But it is 1600s tech, so nowhere near as much as it does today.

How much does technology/magic ease the daily tasks of life? Is convenience enhanced or inhibited?

Cities in Re: Shattered Memories have primitive sewage systems. And they have pipes that can bring water into houses and fountains for drinking. Though most people tend to get their water from rivers, wells, or pipes.
#worldbuilding #storydevelopment #writingcommunity #writer #writingprompts
Candles, matches, and fireplaces that are kept running are the most common ways. Though lanterns are getting popular as well.

How is light generated for common use? How readily available is that source, how does access (unfettered or limited) impact daily activities?

How does your world deal with mass sanitization? Access to drinking water in cities? In general, access to water? Does it parallel our world? Is it driven by magic?
#worldbuilding #storydevelopment #writingcommunity #writer #writingprompts
Nope. The closest thing is the printing press, which is fairly common, but far from digital media.

Formal schooling is rare in Re: Shattered Memories. Most people go through apprenticeships. That being said, formal schooling does exist for certain nobles and wealthy commoners. It typically goes through their teenage years.

What is schooling like in your world? At what age do children start school? What is the typical age people leave school? What is the highest level of education available?

Depends on the person and the region. Most nobles and merchants are multi-lingual. However, other commoners who aren't in international areas rarely are.

How multi-lingual is your world? Do most people speak more than one language? Is there a common language for trade?
#ttrpg #authors #gamemasters #worldbuilding #storydevelopment #writingcommunity #writersky #writingprompts
Newspapers. I haven't gotten a chance to feature them yet, but newspapers exist in Re: Shattered Memories and are fairly popular. Though they're in their early days, given the tech.

Yeah, that describes Dante from Re: Shattered Memories pretty well.

There is theatre in Re: Shattered Memories. The best seats are reserved for the wealthy, but commoners enjoy it as well.

In theory, anyone can. In practice, ways of learning magic are very rare. So, few have access to it. And those who do often keep to themselves.
