Stolen Worldbuilding Prompts

stolen worldbuilding prompts

i have a few worldbuilding prompt novels, so i'm going to share some of their prompts here. if i make others, they shall be edited on to this post. i'd say support the original creators but that would make it swifter for the copyright creatures to find me. of course, these are mainly fantasy themed.

Describe the black market in one of the cities you encounter. Start by writing down the names, appearances and personalities of three vendors. What are some of the unique, unusual or magical wares they sell? Or what valuable information do they have?

Whenever you and your company hit a new town or city, you’re sure to be tavern-bound eventually. Write a list of at least five tavern names, their themes, their proprietors, and their personalities. What characters or unique brews might you encounter at each establishment?

Think about a child who has been affected by the actions of you or your party. How did crossing paths with you change its life? Did you burn down their village, or save them from a monster attack? What is this child like, as a result, when they grow up?

What are some major landmarks you encounter on your travels? Do locals tell tales about their origin? Write about how these experiences might affect you as you continue on your journey.

Write about someone you’ve lost along your adventures, how did you deal with that loss?

You and your adventuring company are going to a party. Who invited you, where is it taking place? A small gathering or a fancy masquerade, what’s the food like? What rumours or info will your company gather while at the party, or what villain will interrupt the festivities?

What is your world’s setting planet shaped like? Round, flat, atop a gargantuan turtle’s back? Describe its parameters.

Create a typical fantasy world, but one thing is dramatically different. Like, all creatures can do magic but humanoids cannot. Or humans can never die of old age but all the plants only live for a few weeks. Get weird. Get stupid.

Create a setting where gods walk the earth and directly interact with each other, their followers, their enemies. How will each interact with mortals of their world?

A member of your adventuring party gives off an odd scent. What does it smell like, what is the source of it, how does it relate to what one knows (or doesn’t) about that character?

every femme should automatically get one (1) vintage nightgown. as a treat.

she makes me feel like the prettiest girl in the world. aaaaaa…

ships like rhaenicent are great because they’re so fucked that it’s too late for them to be together in real life. they’ll have to scissor in heaven
