World Building Prompt: Ancient Culture Markers

DevenRue post World Building Prompt: Ancient Culture Markers from patreon

Like Stonehenge, ancient civilizations can leave lasting mysterious markers. The people long since gone and the culture conquered by others, nothing remains to explain exactly what these markers mean and locals all have their own theories. These markers should be made of something that could withstand the test of time and not...

World building prompt: Unique Plant Life

DevenRue post World building prompt: Unique Plant Life from patreon

Imagine there's only one specific area in your world where a unique plant grows. It's known for this plant, has towns/cities, roads, etc. named after it. There's annual festivals celebrating it, weddings are themed around it, so on and so forth. Or maybe it's a deadly plant that produces a unique poison only a specific group ...

The Wandering Mistress

DevenRue post The Wandering Mistress from patreon

About the Wandering Mistress Project:
I wanted to create something special for everyone to use in their home games. After so many people told me I was their "patron goddess of cartography", I decided to actually make one! The Wandering Mistress is a myth, a legend, a story sailors tell each other. She's a ...

About the Rue the Cartographer Project:

World Building Prompt: Sounds

DevenRue post World Building Prompt: Sounds from patreon

Don't forget that your world has sounds that are just as thought-provoking as it's visuals. From "tinkling streams" that sound like water over crystals (how about a river bed made entirely of quartz) to thunderous booms as a tree trunks smack together in the wind in a dense forest, your world has sound. And that sound not onl...

World Building Prompt: Map the Stars

DevenRue post World Building Prompt: Map the Stars from patreon

Once you've created a world map, create another map of equal size that represents your night sky. How many moons do you have? How many planets appear in it? How close/far are they? What legends have sprung up from their designs? Which ones are universal to your entire planet and what ones have different names/stories in diffe...

World Building Prompt: Water Features

DevenRue post World Building Prompt: Water Features from patreon

Your maps aren't just about the land, but about the water too and what's in it! I so rarely see waterfalls, reefs, shallows, or really any water features! I want to see huge marshes with houses built on stilts! Or hints of underwater ruins just under the surface of the waves! Or whirlpools or even just the continental shelf, ...

World Building Prompt: Bizarre Places!

DevenRue post World Building Prompt: Bizarre Places! from patreon

Where is your world's Bermuda Triangle? What strange things happen there? And I mean "strange" even for a world filled with magic (if yours is). Do compasses point in different directions? Do airships crash? Do people simply vanish, never to be seen again?

World Building Prompt: Regionally Unique Problems

DevenRue post World Building Prompt: Regionally Unique Problems from patreon

People are wonderfully adaptable! To live in swamps they built houses on stilts. To live in dense forests, they built houses in the trees. To get across huge crevices, they built rope bridges. What unique things have people from your world overcome?

World Building Prompt: No North

DevenRue post World Building Prompt: No North from patreon

Ok, not specifically there being no north pole, but that there's an entirely different word than "north". As a matter of fact, change all the words for north, south, east, and west into something unique for your world. Maybe they are universally seen as symbols so it doesn't matter what language one speaks. Maybe there is a u...
