I posted this in r/worldbuilding before, but it seems like people have lost interest, so I'm trying again. Please answer as many as you can.<br><br>---<br><br>The goal is to create a world with many different cultures and peoples, each with their own history, religion, and mythology. There will be a shared "world" timeline, chronology of events, world history, world mythology, and possibly even a shared pantheon. The world itself will be similar to earth during the 14th century - pre black death. <br><br>However, I want to make sure this world is unique and not similar to any others - so I would appreciate your input on many different things. If you would like to participate, you can respond to any of these questions or send me a PM of your ideas.<br><br>Ideally, we would have about 5-6 people in total, each contributing to the world as a whole. We would have monthly meetings to discuss the world in depth.<br><br>Once we get a few people together, we can figure out how to set the details and share information with each other.<br><br>Here are some questions I have so far to give you a better idea of what I am thinking:<br><br>* Geography and climate:<br> + Are there any mountains, rivers, forests, deserts, lakes, or oceans?<br> + Where are they located on the continent?<br> + Are there any islands or archipelagos?<br> + Where are the most habitable places?<br> + What is the climate like - warm, cold, wet, dry, etc?<br> + Are there any notable features - waterfalls, canyons, etc?<br>* Peoples and cultures:<br> + What are they like?<br> + How do they live?<br> + What are their cultures, traditions, and customs?<br> + Are they similar to any real world cultures - e.g. chinese, african, arabic, roman, etc?<br> + Are there any notable people - e.g. leaders, warriors, kings?<br>* Religions and beliefs:<br> + Do they have a religion?<br> + Do they believe in magic or supernatural things?<br> + What are their beliefs on the afterlife?<br> + How do they view outsiders?<br>* History:<br> + What was their history like?<br> + How did they get to where they are now?<br> + Are there any important events or milestones in their history?<br> + How do they view their past?<br> + What is their current political situation - e.g. kingdoms, empires, tribal societies, etc?<br>* Future:<br> + Where do they see themselves going?<br> + Are they satisfied with their current situation?<br> + Are they trying to expand their territory?<br> + What challenges do they think they will face going forward?<br>* World events:<br> + What notable events has the world seen in the past?<br> + How have these events affected different cultures?<br> + What is the current state of the world?<br> + Are there any upcoming events or challenges - e.g. natural disasters, wars, etc?<br>* World mythology:<br> + What common myths are present in the world - e.g. dragons, vampires, etc?<br> + What are some stories that are told across cultures?<br> + Are there any similarities between different cultures' mythologies?<br>* Miscellanous:<br> + What would be some major imports or exports?<br> + What is the global food situation like?<br> + Is there trade?<br> + How do different cultures view one another?<br> + What major conflicts have there been in the past?<br> + Are there any natural resources that play a major role in the world?<br> + How do the different cultures view magic or supernatural things?<br><br>Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome - I'm looking to get as many ideas as possible from multiple people. If you have your own ideas or your own questions, please feel free to add them.<br><br>TL;DR: I want to create a collaborative worldbuilding project and I am currently looking for collaborators. Please answer these questions or PM me if you're interested.
