Quick Six: Culture Quest
Dive deeper into your culture world-building with these six prompts for writers, world-builders, and game masters.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this week’s look at culture in world-building!
Welcome, new kindreds and familiar friends, to this week’s Quick Six, a selection of world-building and/or writing prompts to wrap up our weekly theme.
As usual, I dug into my vast store of Story Engine cards to help with this week’s list. Big thanks to for choosing the theme: Cultural Touchstones, as inspired by the Deck of Worlds expansion, Culture Keyholes.
And some good news on the rest of my Story Engine collection: while the physical decks won’t ship until (approximately) January, I do already have the .PDF files of the new Lore Master decks, the Lore Master expansions, and the Bridge decks that blend them with the other collections.
Is this relevant? Find out tomorrow!
