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.
@monorail it's so good!!!!!!
@monorail omg, is this the one which is full of impossibly evil ones?
@monorail Kihe a mauli ola

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

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)
