How to Establish a Foundation for your Worldbuilding - Cosmology

While you can begin building a world from anywhere, it helps to start by determining the structure of its natural laws. In this video, we look at how to do that and what choices you face as you begin. We’ll investigate the degree of realism you might seek, how familiar or strange you want it to feel, and if you want a quirk to set it apart. We also take an initial dive into those core cosmological concepts of cosmogony, religion, the broader universe, geography, magic, and races. 0:00 Introduction 1:25 Definitions 3:06 1.
