I really enjoyed this. I liked that each section was short, but packed with information. I like how the author's writing style took some rather "dry" topics and made them fun without feeling like she was trying to be "too witty" or silly.
I found this book looking for a book on creating RPG worlds, but really this is more for people writing novels. The level of detail could definitely be added to an RPG world, but I think most DM's don't worry about this kind of stuff (though they should if they want to really make their world seem realistic).

Großartige Denkanstöße, die immer sensibel mit kritischen Themen umgeht und Wege zeigt, wie man Stereotype und -ismen umgehen kann!

Very interesting little book with lots of essays about topics I never considered about the world. Looking forward to read Year two.

A really good collection of essays that made me consider aspects of worldbuilding that aren't as obvious. In some essays I wished for more detail, but I will still use this as a reference in the future!

This is a fantastic resource for writers and creators of all kinds of worlds. There is a lot of information about how to build out various elements of societies and worlds, but it was also really fascinating for the descriptions of various human societies and how their surroundings and beliefs shaped various aspects of their culture. Humans are a lot weirder than we give ourselves credit for, and I would enjoy a lot more stories if they decided to explore some of the diversity of societies that humans have created over time, let alone build one from complete imagination.
