Updated Worldbuilding Round-Up

This July continues to be extraordinarily busy, so here is an updated toolbox for All Things Worldbuilding.

This is something I happen to have on hand, because it's that important.Groundwork: Geography, biomes and ecology.

Transitioning from Neolithic to Agricultural and early civilizations
Neolithic Founder Crops
The Food Timeline
Points of Origin for Herbs and Spices
Finding every use for a resource

The International Phonetic Alphabet 
Text Generator (for making words once you have a phonology generated)
Technology Basics, told through Drinks and Weapons
Levels of Industry in Worldbuilding
Cultural Rituals of Coming of Age
Four-Dimensional Worldbuilding
Marriage and Other Rituals of Love And Joining
Rituals for the Dead
Arts and Culture
Worldbuilding as a Living Process

Hope you can find this useful.  I hope to put this stuff together into a single document in the near future.  Possibly so I can have handouts at panels.  Handouts would make me look extra prepared, no?

  1. What a fantastic post. I intend to keep it for future reference. So much information and useful links. Thank you very much. It must have taken an age to do the research, and you’ve saved the rest of us so much time.
