Top 10 List
The category(ies) you choose are up to you. You can give top 10 Fics you read last year, the top 10 songs to create to, the top 10 guest stars on your favorite show, top 10 characters in your favorite book series, top 10... well, you get the idea.
Can't think of 10 of anything? That's okay, 10 is just an abstract. It's totally up to you.
I'm going to do what I was probably supposed to earlier and come up with a list of ten creative resources I have linked or saved somewhere. No particular order. Mostly worldbuilding.
- The Language Construction Kit has been around forever so I jump to assuming everyone knows it already, but lucky ten thousands and all that. THE conlanging resource, lays all the basics out in an easy to understand format. It won't tell you everything, but it'll tell you enough to know what else you need to look for.
- Madeline James' Worldbuilding Guide is a great rundown of geography, climate and culture for Earthlike worlds.
- Artifexian is I think no longer making videos but if you want any of the stuff above in video format, this is where you want to be - fun, informative videos on conlanging, geography, climates, whatever you need it's probably in here somewhere.
- Biblaridion has more videos, mostly focused on spec-bio and conlangs.
- Worldbuilding Workshop doesn't seem to have been updated lately but still has some good articles.
- Beginner's Guide to Cartography - Common Mistakes - ran into this recently on DA, it is what it says.
- Vulgarlang is a conlang generator! Like most "random X" generators it has its limits, but still a useful tool, and sometimes it's all you need. Handy as a took to use alongside regular conlang resouces like the LKC above.
- Rinkworks Fantasy Name Generator has also been around forever but still useful. Sometimes you just need a name in a hurry and this'll do it. What I like personally about it is that it's setting agnostic. There's plenty of "elf name" and "warrior cat name" and any other franchise or stock creature name generator you can think of, but this one will just give you a list of names without assuming what you're making.
- Ableton Learning Music moving away from worldbuilding, this actually wasn't that useful for me? But I think that's a me-problem. I've wanted to learn music for a while but no matter how much I try I just find it unintuitive, and opaque. I picked up a little understanding though and just because something isn't useful for me doesn't mean it's not useful for someone else.
(Aside: if there's one thing I'd like to see a guide on it's conmusic - fictional music in the same vein as fictional languages - but it doesn't seem to be a thing anywhere?) - HTML for People - "HTML isn't only for people working in the tech field. It's for anybody, the way documents are for anybody." You can code! You can make a website! And it's fun!
