I’ve seen a lot of these “tell me about your world” prompts on the subreddit, but they often result in people either writing massive walls of text or a single short sentence that is incredibly vague.

So instead I want to try something different. Introduce your world using exactly 50 words, not more, not less. Not sure if that’s a good number, I guess I’ll find out.

      You don’t have to explain everything, you should be able to sum up the core idea of your world in such few words.

        I could sum up some era maybe, but there is no overarching story to my world so I don’t really know what to say. I have many different kingdoms which have risen and fallen, I have prehistory, I have revolutions, I have modernity, etc.

          So you’ve got a vast scale, following this world from the stone age to the space age.

          What people are there, are there only humans? Are there no humans?

          How many continents are there, what are they like?

          Is there magic in your world?

            Sorry, I misspoke and meant contemporary instead of modernity. The contemporary of the world is medieval as it was made for DND 5E.

            There are all races as per DND 5E’s core ruleset + Tashas + Volos.

            There are 8 continents, 93 islands large enough to have names, and 11 countries. To describe any one of them would take a wall of text.

            There is magic for sure since it’s for 5E.
