I’m curious what everyone here is using their worlds for? Are you creating them for a tabletop game experience? Are you using them as settings for your creative writing? Are they a world for video game or film? Are they an activity to escape this world for a little bit?

my story

I’m not sure I qualify as actively world building, although I’m working on finding some time for it. My focus is to build a world in which I can run dungeons and dragons campaign(s). I’m not focused on defining new races, animals, or flora. I’m reusing what is already available in that world but focused on the social/political/geographical constructs. I’m creating land for them to live, towns/cities/villages to inhabit, religious and political orders to inevitably cement disagreements, and a history of such events to motivate current affairs.

I’m maintaining it in a self-hosted dokuwiki to enable high level of cross linking all this content together.
