The 6-Dimension Framework That Creates Truly Realistic Fantasy Cultures
About this episode
Have you ever struggled to write about a fantasy culture that feels meaningfully different from your own?
Because of the societies we grow up in, we all have these inbuilt assumptions about the way things are.
However, the best worldbuilders know how to get outside of those assumptions, so that they can create unique, different, realistic, and immersive cultures.
