    It is a very detailed list. I am trying to build a world but after watching your video I realized that I forgot many important aspects that make my world better and interesting. Thank you !

    I have been building a homebrew world with my gaming group (s) for a long time and this is great material. Thanks for another fantastic video. Some of the prompts happened organically in game over time and through several campaigns and others I am now definitely considering.

      This list is like 50% me and 50% the community on Discord, I asked for their help to come up with these and they really killed it! I hope to make even more of these during November to help anyone who wants to take #NaWorMo
