    I don't know how helpful this is, but I usually base my worldbuilding on ideas for storytelling that are sort of woven together. What this means, I guess, is that I have some idea for a story (that I will probably never actually write) and that I think about what the environment that that story takes place in ought to look like. Then I take several of these sorts of things and put them together into something that's more coherent, modifying things along the way.

    As for where the "inspiration" actually comes from, I'd say it's essentially just a mix of media that I like: I was a big fan of Garth Nix's Old Kingdom series, and I find compelling various themes, tropes, and interactions that come from novels, t.v. series, anime, etc.

    Definitely some good points in there. I think that number 4 - overly monolithic social, ethnic and religious groups - is one that people should especially go out of their way to avoid, considering that it's not just abstractly 'bad practice'; it usually ends up making stories much more boring than they could be. Even in cases where there are strong social motivators, e.g. to participate in religious practices, there are still going to be people who are less than enthused.

    I'm Vulfe. In real life, I do mathematics. i have worked on a few worlds in both the settings of science fiction and medieval-style fantasy, but I find it much easier to create interesting things in the latter setting. I have a bad habit of not writing things down which I am seeking to abolish. Other creative interests of mine are poetry, graphic design, and music.

    This looks like quite a helpful tool! I'll definitely try it out; I've been looking for things along these lines. Thanks for sharing.
