What do you want or need when it comes to #worldbuilding?
What will help you build better worlds? Conversely, what do you look for in #ttrpg worlds that you want to use in a game?

@Jackgiantkiller I'm doing worldbuilding just now in an established setting for my next Actual Play game.

My challenge is to parse all the info in the book into a format I can usefully cross reference to make sure I'm not contradicting established canon.

Obsidian is my go-to for this, copying sections of PDF into seperate notes but I'm curious to know what other folks do to get the world consistent in their head.

@renegaderich well. Among other things, I use consistent formats for certain portions, like my System Agnostic God Format and Settlement Format. But other than for other peoples use I'm not super organized. What setting are you using?

@Jackgiantkiller
I like Diversity in all things.
Different Climate and not just one Dessert and one Rainforest but multiple.
Different Cultures, best is Empires of different Races.

Many unexplored Areas with unknown Creatures and plants.

And 1 to 5 destroyed Empires that you can find Ruins of don't Hurt.
