World Building Pure Worldbuilding Group (Discord) (name subject to changing)

[Idea]

Are you a passionate worldbuilder?

Do you want to share your worlds but feel like they won't last in any RP/story you make? (either for lack of attention or lack of lifespan)

Are you just someone who would like to learn/improve their worldbuilding?

Well, this may be the group for you! If it ever comes to exist...

In this "pure worldbuilding" group (name subject to change) I would like to make a space specifically for share and get feedback on our worldbuilding, independently from any specific story or Rp where they are found- or if you prefer in tandem. I would like people to gather to form wonderful creative worlds, share them, get feedback, get tips and help in improving their worldbuilding skills and in making those more appealing to readers or other roleplayers, and even perhaps small writing challenges to help you psuh your worldbuilding! ... I don't have that many details yet, mainly because I don't know how ambitious I can be yet, not knowing how many people would be interested in such a project or are truly passionate about worldbuilding.

If you're interested, leave a comment below! Any ideas for things we could do as group? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Disclaimer: While not exclusively, the group is supposed to focus mainly on the construction not reveal aspect of worldbuilding- this is, not the worldbuilding of revealing the world during the story or roleplay, but the crafting of those worlds and places. In addition the group is about worldbuilding specifically- other aspects of writing would of course be allowed to be discussed but would not be a major aspect of the group's interaction.

I'm definitely interested in joining this group! I love worldbuilding, and I have some concepts that I'm down to discuss with others. I'm unsure what else we could do as a group other than share worldbuilding tips, materials, or ideas. Maybe I'll gain more ideas for the group, once the concept becomes more fleshed out.

Welcome! So with Mr.Sandstorm that makes three of us! Yay! Just one more and it should be worth it to create the server

I cant wait for it.

I would definitely join. Not sure for how long I would stay before losing motivation or whatever (that happens to me much too frequently) but this would drastically progress my current ideas (which aren't very many), which is what I need right now. I've been slowly accumulating ideas for a world for quite a long time now in the back of my mind (possibly almost a year now?) but have never actually sat down to think. Plus I'm pretty inexperienced in solid idea-forming in general due to my laziness, so I'm pretty excited for this.

Welcome! I would prefer to have at least our innitial members motivated, but I guess it can't be helped. Regardless though, as a world building passionate I would love to give you a hand if you need anything and as the one that proposed this group, I'd love to have you and your ideas in it So welcome!

Sorry for the comment on motivation, it's just that sometimes I can slowly drift away from things I'm working on due to becoming occupied with something else I have started doing. So please don't feel disappointed if I do leave some time (really hope that I don't though!). That aside, thank you for the welcome!

I'd be interested in this. I have a few worldbuild-ey projects that could use other eyes on and I like talking about this stuff in general.

 

[BLK]

I'd definitely join. I don't have any projects I'm working on actively at the moment, but I'd happily help some people out if needed.

Welcome! Of course, it's great to have people to chat about with it, and improving each of our skills and getting feedback it's the whole point, one might argue, of this group. Sharing our worlds and ideas. So once again, welcome!

Great to have you! Of course, getting help and feedback is great, thank you so much!

Alright peeps, it's still kinda barebones, but here is our little group:
Discord - Free voice and text chat for gamers

Does this need to be a discord only group project? I imagine that will limit participation as opposed to having an open thread here.

The thing is I this isn't a roleplay, just people chatting, so I wouldn't know where to put it here on RPN, plus some of the available tools discord offers could offer some benefits the site doesn't.

 

[Bone2pick]

I understand you aren't proposing a roleplay; you're hoping to gather a fictional world feedback group. And I'm sure discord has its advantages over a forum. I'm not suggesting you scrap the discord channel. I just wondered why you wouldn't create a thread here with a world building prefix to extend the groups base and reach?

Well, the possibility of hosting two at once didn't cross my mind. However, again, I wouldn't know where to put such a thread.

 

[Bone2pick]

Right here in the Roleplaying Discussion & Advice would be an appropriate spot. And I can't imagine an open thread would be difficult to manage.

That would be really chaotic. Trying to discuss different topics, or obtain feedback on various things (so pretty much, just going over more than one thing at once, as a group) would be pretty much impossible or extremely messy to say the least

 

[Bone2pick]

You think so? Nearly every forum thread is composed of different folks sharing their ideas and opinions, and they hold up just fine. The more eyeballs the more participation & feedback, but suit yourself.

That is correct, but under-scaled. What I wanted with this group was a focus location for a variety of aspects of worldbuilding, at a limited pace yes, but still with a proper location for that focus and interest. This wouldn't work as a random thread because it'd just get buried in this section and wouldn't be able to hold a group together. Even if it did, those people would be discussing a million different topics on the same thread- that or I would hav to spam the discussion forums with different threads, which I think we can both agree is a terrible idea.

 

[Bone2pick]

I don't understand your hang-ups, but I don't need to. Best of luck with your discord group.

Ah sounds interesting, as someone who more often develops a setting than actually writes a story I could call myself a worldbuilder. Though I must admit detailed history, politics and personas often are my problem children, while creation myths , magic systems and variations of races are my strong suit.
Will take a look when I get to my pc.

is this still open
