World Crafter's Resources 001 - Random Generators
General | Posted 9 years agoHey guys! I'm excited about this! Here's a list of useful resources that might come in handy for world crafting.
http://chaoticshiny.com/
Chaoticy Shiny is a website that has a ton of free generators (or if you want to show them support you can buy packs, which are essentially just fancy bundles of the site's generators. There's a ton of stuff here so be sure to check it out.
http://donjon.bin.sh/
Donjon has a ton of name generators from ancient and medieval cultures worldwide, along with fantasy ones and even a customizatizable world-map generator. It also includes medieval demographics generators, adventure generators, inn generators, etc. etc. While mainly fantasy Dungeons and Dragons themed, it's an awesome resource for fantasy writers.
http://fantasynamegenerators.com/
Fantasy name generators is a massive archive of random name generators from tons of different cultures, both real-world and fictional. It also has a few miscellanious generators for descriptions and other things.
http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/
Generates real world fake names. SSN 's, phone numbers, jobs, blood types, favorite color, etc. Really good for truly fleshing out a modern-day character.
http://www.springhole.net/
A curious website devoted to a ton of different writing tools (it also has a section to worldbuilding specifically!) and is a great resource if you're bored, looking for inspiration, or just want to play around with their generators.
Remember though, your world is yours. Take random generators with a grain of salt. You should always take them as suggestions, and not law for what you want in your world. ^^

What is the World Crafter's Guild?
General | Posted 9 years agoLet's begin this group by discussing the topic of world crafting itself. More importnatly, what makes good world crafting.
World crafting is a time-honored art of creating fictional worlds... whether it be for stories, comics, video-games, or just for fun! It's a very difficult hobby for newcomers, and requires a great deal of love for creation. This group (hopefully) will be a community to help newcomers and veterans alike to find inspiration, resources, and people to bounce ideas off of!
Finally, we would like to set some ground rules.
1) Let's focus on being constructive. There is no place in this guild for trolls, people attacking other people's settings and ideas. On the flip side, we won't accept settings intentionally designed to be offensive, inconsiderate, or mean-spirited towards a group of people or people. TROLLS WILL BE BLOCKED WITHOUT WARNING... period.
2) We're not here for ripoff settings. This Guild focuses entirely on producing new, original settings. It's okay to draw inspiration from another setting (let's face it, we all do it, from the average fan-fiction writer to Hideyo Kojima) but if your setting is blatantly plagiarizing something, "that's no good," as a blue hedgehog might say. :3
3) Don't be a douche. The golden rule of most religions and civilizations applies here. Play nice folks. X3
4 ) Have fun! World crafting is a fun and awesome hobby, never forget that it's meant to be fun! ^^ Feel stressed out or bored? Just relax and take some time off. We all get a little overwhelmed at times, if something's really troubling you on a project, ask us, we may be able to help you out! :D
