and I'm still the only person I know who actually watched the show!!!

re: worldbuilding 

And so for the Wụūgụ people, I kind of feel stuck - there are so many different ways of organising societies, how do I just choose (or invent) ONE??

And any choice I make is going to have huge impacts on how the rest of things go.

re: worldbuilding 

One of the things I'm struggling with is working out the economy/governance.

Here's a few real-life systems:
* the Inca empire (the empire provides food + clothing in exchange for labour; the empire does not trade with others because it just conquers them instead)
* Aboriginal (Australian) groups (in group people do tasks as per social roles; trading with other groups is gift-exchanges)
* Igbo communities (republic of village-states; with organised markets)

worldbuilding 

today I've done some research into:
* The Inca Empire
* Traditional Woodblock printing in Japan
* The Igbo, Yoruba, and Javanese calendars
* Yoruba and Inca religions

and the cool thing is: I'm learning a lot!

the less-cool thing is: oh gods there are so many decisions to be made with my worldbuilding project and I have no idea which ones are the Right™ ones.

There's lexicon-building challenge happening this month on reddit, and I think the challenge looks really well made:

reddit.com/r/conlangs/comments

I don't think I'll have time to do it this month (I'm super busy for the next 1.5 weeks), but... it looks like a great challenge: multiple prompts, and rules to encourage you to do more interesting things (words with multiple meanings, homophones, deriving words from other words, etc)
