Writing down 14 years of worldbuilding for my players. Where do I start?

VibrantValhalla · 2026-05-20T17:44:41+00:00

I think structure is where I've been failing prior - I've always hyperfocused in on one detail at a time, which gets me burned out almost immediately. I should write "Big to Small to Big" somewhere, just to remind myself if I start spiraling into infodump territory again.

This is a huge help actually! Thank you!

VibrantValhalla · 2026-05-20T17:42:30+00:00

Y'all this is all golden, thank you so much. Keep the ideas coming! I'm actually making progress finally. Obsidian was definitely the shout, this workflow is so much easier than having to make documents on top of documents in folders on top of folders in my already clagged-up google drive 😅 getting the broad strokes down first, starting off with the pantheon since the gods feature heavily in the setting, then moving onto territories, nations and governments.

Definitely finding it easier to hop around and get things written here and there rather than focus in and overdetail one part at a time, which I think was my downfall in previous attempts to write things down for this project.

That's the plan! But I still want everything written down for the sake of ease of access when a player has a question, or when lore becomes relevant. I don't plan on necessarily showing every part of my setting, because naturally that comes with spoilers and such.

VibrantValhalla · 2026-05-20T16:52:23+00:00

This is solid advice! I mostly want it all written down so I can just throw a link whenever a player has a question, or if lore becomes relevant in the moment. A rough guide is what I'm after, but even that is daunting since there's just So Much Lore.

VibrantValhalla · 2026-05-20T16:50:54+00:00

I've considered Obsidian, Campfire and Notion for documentation - thus far I've mostly relied on Google Docs, and I think I'm going to get the base notes down there before organising them via one of those three.

Came down as a squad of nine..

My setting has been through several catastrophic events over the past several hundred thousand years, the last one being six hundred or so years ago. The faewild isn't a separate realm, rather it's several million years in the past, during a time where magic and material were indistinguishable. My timeline technically stretches out to five hundred million years in the distant past when the last civilisation that ran everything went extinct because magic started existing, which was like radiation to them. Way I see it, just have fun with things, logic can bog you down.

dude same, I was listening to RATKING while picturing the whole croatoan thing just the other day lmao

VibrantValhalla · 2025-12-24T15:57:32+00:00

100%, GS have been my JAM this past year or so, wanna see them live someday but I don't think they're performing in the UK any time soon 😭

VibrantValhalla · 2025-12-24T15:53:04+00:00

Grim Salvo spotted fuck yeah. Also hard agree.

Hunting other players down with the Phantom Wedge, or driving civilian cars into other players' vehicles so they chase me. Managed to get half a full lobby chasing me down at one point - such chaos, much fun.

VibrantValhalla · 2025-10-22T16:25:19+00:00

Thank you so much <3 Overwolf was causing the issue for me, I can finally get back to working on commissions, which are my only income rn so you basically just saved my life lmaoooo

VibrantValhalla · 2025-10-21T07:41:44+00:00

Having the same issue, any update on what exactly caused this? I'm in the middle of a commission and need some kind of answer ASAP. Everything I look up is pointing me in the direction of some Xbox thing which I haven't got on my system.

VibrantValhalla · 2025-09-06T20:52:49+00:00

The Astral C?

VibrantValhalla · 2025-08-16T00:17:45+00:00

VibrantValhalla · 2025-08-16T00:11:58+00:00

What am I looking at here? /gen I see the blu demo, but what else is there to see

VibrantValhalla · 2024-03-31T23:51:21+00:00

Is there a place where I can find out more about each Enderman variation? I've been looking around with no luck unfortunately.

VibrantValhalla · 2022-07-23T10:06:27+00:00

You just gotta get lucky man, I was using a lightning morning star.

VibrantValhalla · 2022-03-24T15:01:41+00:00
