Communities

There are many worldbuilding communities that can help provide feedback and in-depth critique for your setting, map, and ideas. For something more permanent than a /tg/ thread, here are some popular options.

Game Design General originated as a /tg/ thread but has grown into a large discord community that has a side focus on worldbuilding, as it can obviously be an important part of game design.

Red Land is a place for worldbuilding, the creation of fictional worlds for works of fiction. The intent is to have projects, to work on and in time finish. It's a place to share your stuff, ask for feedback, understand approaches, and expand your mind. While we have our traditional gaming roots, we are open to anyone who can gel with us. The end goal is a small, active, comfy community where things get done.
