Introducing WorldCraft Club! This week we’re excited to bring you all something a little different. That’s right, it’s a crossover week. We had the opportunity to sit down with author Seth Ring and James Horton of the WorldCraft Club. They’ve created a community dedicated to building resources for game masters, novelists, and worldbuilders of all kinds. James and Seth release regular videos on a huge range of story and worldbuilding topics. Forget everything we’ve ever told you about worldbuilder syndrome and icebergs and pacing yourselves. This week is all about the reasons we love worldbuilding–what about it captivates us, pushes writers and other creatives to delve into new, unexplored universes. We’ll discuss inspiration, trends, cultural shifts, and our favorite things about fantasy and science fiction.
