Favorite Guides & Outlines?
Any suggestions for downloadable forms and/or outlines for creating your own fantasy world setting? Lists of prompts, questions, and headings to help fill out the details of a homebrewed setting? Even if some-what elementary I think it would help me gather my ideas into one document.
Thanks,
Necro

I’m not sure what scale you had in mind, but I’ll toss out a recommendation for the Local Area worksheet from Matt Colville / MCDM.
I can’t post the link directly since I’m too much of a lurker, but you should find it (and the associated Youtube video) easily if you google ‘Matt Colville Local Area’.Last edited by Borazine; 2021-12-11 at 05:35 PM. Reason: Typo

World Anvil was recommended to me by a friend. It might work well for you!

Expeditious Retreat Press has many guides to worldbuilding. I haven't read all of them, but their A Magiac Society series has been helpful. You can find them on DriveThruRPG, among other sites.

Re: Favorite Guides & Outlines?
There is a bunch of books written ov everyday life in medieval times. They are inevitably anglo-french-centric, but so is fantasy in general. These will serve you pretty well as guides for creating towns and cities and describing them - sure, some of the stuff is outdated, but still.
- Frances Gies: Life in a medieval city
- Frances Gies: Life in a medieval village
- Ian Mortimer: The time traveller's guide to medieval England
Even chapter titles alone can serve as a sort of a quick checklist.That which does not kill you made a tactical error.
