I'm really glad you mentioned obsidian. It is a bit plain but with all the plugins you can get it's really versatile, not laggy, and convenient.

Worth noting: Kanka : Worldbuilding DungeonFog : Battle maps RPG Map 2 : RPG maps, free dungeon map doodler and one-page-dungeon: Dungeon Maps, both free

Love this! Fast, bite-sized, great overviews. Time sigs will keep me coming back to this again and again. :)

Wow awesome video. Going to have to go through all your videos now.

I randomly found your channel organically while looking for such tools. Very underrated, I hope you keep working on it! Subbed and belled

Dude. You're really going places. Cant wait to delve more into what you offer.

I've just started using obsidian and I enjoy using it.

Thanks for the shoutout! ❤

Can you share some of your work , I have started writing as a hobby I have great ideas but at times I get confused with all these tools so I write on paper

Definitely would like a link to the aggregation list you talk about at 6:20! So I'm just starting to get into these tools and don't mind paying for one, but it feels like there is no "best" one? So then I'm left with which set of 2-3 do I need? Like can I draw my maps in Inkarnate then use World Anvil to manage my meta data and timeline and all that? It seems like World Anvil, Campfire, and Legend Keeper all do very similar things. Do you know what each one can do that the other can't? I feel like it would take a week with each tool to figure that out. Lastly ... do you know if any of these tools (ex: World Anvil) can manage multiple "worlds" at once? So like if I wanted to use the tool to document an ongoing campaign and where we've been, etc, but then I also wanted to be building up a different world in the same tool, can any of them handle that? Thanks for the video ... nice to see all the info in one place.

There's a lot of world map makers, but as a space opera writer, those don't really fulfill my needs. Landmarks and roads aren't that important bc of flight and most factions are larger than worlds. Cities and their individual culture are important, but the distance between them is not. The only relevant data about them is the landscape they're built on, whether they're in the rainforest or desert for example. I can get away with just describing those things. The only maps I might want to make are the galaxy map, and one map of a hoopworld (donut shaped but less thick), but both of those aren't really supported by these map makers. The hoopworld map could be made by two ring shaped maps, but there'd be a lot of stretching and it'd be difficult to make.

As an artist myself, I get the need to make money, but I really dont appreciate how he made it seem like his website had entirely free resources, and then I go there and theyre not and I think 'oh I guess the folders at the top are the only free options' and I click the character values wheel, which Im not even expecting a paywall, but if I was I would think that would be the cheapest one, and theres a $9+ paywall? JFC.

Are you using plugins in obsidian? Because Notion is much simpler in functionality.

Im shocked Kanka is not on this list.

Which free word map creator do you recomend for a begginer?

I HAVE SEARCH FOR 10 MONTHS the search continues...

Oh..so like i need a world , small really... But for discord. I JUST made the server and am trying to formulate a world without even seeing what it looks like LMAO 😭

to be honest the are basically no things that are free and look good like inkarnate

Bruh you really faked me out at the end i thought you were gonna make ur notion notes public :(

i always find the very first thing you need for worldbuilding is dirt. lots of dirt. and rocks. then add water later.

your eyes are kinda cartoonish, I dont know the feelin I get from it..

Please add time stamps
