Index Card Dungeon 2 - Map 4 - Ruined Tower
While Map 3 showed us the "ghost tower" in its prime, this version of the tower shows it in modern times, crumbling and threatening to collapse down the hill.

Worldbuilding Tip 42: Provide a variety of locations that perform different tasks for adventure/story creators. Some of the places must be functional, like stores and farms. Some should be ornamental, to provide color and utility. Then you can have a few oddities, which contrast with the others.

Worldbuilding Tip 17: As you build the limits of your world along with the types of stories and games you want to take place there, think about the ecosystems you'll need. Stories of survival need harsh climates. Stories of great journeys need diverse landscapes or regions of space to traverse.

Around the 200th image slide for this next War Story vid I realized how excessive these have become. Bloated with tiny things no one but me will ever notice. Then I said fuck it and made 20 more.
Next is recording skits. There's... <checks notes>... 7 different costumes!?
How did it get to this?

Worldbuilding Tip 8: As you switch between bottom-up and top-down focus, there's a temptation to throw out things you've already done because of contradictions. That's OK, but let there be contradictions early. You'll have time later to pare back or make changes. Contradictions can also be fun.

Worldbuilding Tip 7: If you start from the bottom up, at some point you'll run into questions that push you back to the top. Detailing a town? Is there a leader, a temple, a military presence? Then you'll need to think on the political structure, the divinities, and the military situation.
