#013 Worldbuilding -- Creating Story Context

Dec 2, 2019

The group talks about the importance of making new worlds make sense and discusses just how much worldbuilding a reader can digest all at once. They also caution against the extreme approaches of going into a story willy-nilly versus the endless rabbit hole of what-if questions.
