Summer Camp 2023 Reading Challenge
And now it's time for my retrospective on Summer Camp 2023. The annual Summer Camp is my favorite World Anvil event and this year is no different. Despite this being my 4th (!) Summer Camp, I still learned a lot about world building and writing this year. As I worked on articles, I felt like the process of how to deliver and structure information really unlocked for me. I feel like I leveled up this year, but not sure if that's going to show up in my writing until I see if it applies to my old work.
Like the years before it, I've really enjoyed seeing new and excellent work take place in worlds I've visited before. I'm especially happy to see new articles for Qurillion's Megacorpolis. Worlds I'm continuing to enjoy include E. Christopher Clark's Literary Universe, Annie Stein's Solaris, and of course the dark giant Stormbril's magnificent Cathedris.
Last Half of 2023 Worldbuilding Goals
I started this year and got all the way through summer without any real goals for the World of Wizard's Peak. I've been enjoying building content for my ongoing campaigns and writing articles to stay just in front of the speeding train of my two (sometimes three or four) D&D campaigns.
Now that Summer Camp is done, I've started going through my "cornerstone content" and I'm rewriting and restructuring it. I've realized that some of my articles are literally 20+ years old from a previous version of wizardspeak.com! Some of my articles are from when I first started on World Anvil and my ideas have matured since then. There are also "bullet point placeholder" articles for a lot of important areas that need real articles for them.
Lastly, I'm going to work on putting together a setting book for my world that I could possible sell on the various places that RPG books sell. I have enough worldbuilding to make something, I just need to make statblocks for various game systems. I already do this for 5E for my ongoing games, it just doesn't make it to WA usually.
So in the interest of making it concrete and putting some online accountability out there. Wish me luck!
- Re-write old/outdated content
- Turn "bullet point" articles into real articles
- Make a sellable RPG product
OMG! Thank you so much for reading and sharing about my float race article! <3 It's exciting to hear that you're reworking and solidifying some of the older parts of your world!
I enjoyed it so much! And I'm excited for my future projects too!
