Worldbuilding Corner
Okay, this isn't related to scifi but it is a good example of how one might construct a fictional world. It shows the journey from simple premises and constraints to something a TTRPG GM might be able to use for their setting. It is to fantasy what Alien Biospheres is to specevo.

When I click on the link the page that comes up looks to display links to a bunch of worldbuilding videos for both fantasy and SF. For that matter, I would imagine that a fair bit of the 'best practices' for constructing a fictional world would work for both SF and fantasy.
Anyhoo - Would this be something you would recommend be added to the
Worldbuilding section of the
Links and Extras pages?
Thanks!

Indeed - the main difference is simply in terms of world rules (science vs fantasy).

I've added the link to Worldbuilding Corner to our Links and Extras page. Please look it over and let me know if any additions or corrections are needed. I'm not familiar with it so didn't really know what to say about it. Suggestions welcome!
Thanks!

Oh I actually took a look at that page and there are some goodies (like the scifi world generator)
Anyways, one suggestion I have is to change the description to "Worldbuilding series that goes through each of the steps of worldbuilding with a live example" as this is more specific
