This “topic” for World Building Wednesday is kind of a meta topic in that it’s related the world-building in itself. One of the hardest things when setting out to make guidelines for your world/game is what topic to cover. 11 such topics are listed below and cover, mostly speaking topics that are suitable for any world or genre.
I’ve also included “Magic” as the bonus topic/idea because it may not refer to the arcane arts, but stage magic or illusions and so on or even so-called sleight-of-hand tricks. Even if the response is “there is no magic in the world” it is an important topic to consider.
