#OctoberWorldbuilders 4: Desert animals/plants Scorpions are common in the desert as are cockatrices. Oddly enough there are desiccated mangrove trees too...
#OctoberWorldbuilders 3: Desert town architecture In the Kaleenmunda Desert there are decrepit towns built in white marble. Nobody knows who built them or why they lived in a desert since the environment is unforgiving and there's no food around.
#OctoberWorldbuilders 2: Desert society The closest would be the country of Munayallpa. It is more of an arid mountain valley than a true desert, but most of their buildings are out of sandstone and they don't have many trees left.
#OctoberWorldbuilders 1: Desert Name Happy October you worldbuilders! The Kaleenmunda Desert was named by mashing the aboriginal words for water together with the word for forest. Wait... why those words for a desert?
#SeptemberWorldbuilders 30: likes in fantasy Love me ancient civilizations, powerful artifacts, found family, epic adventure, orange/purple morality, unexpected mentor, strong female characters, unique fantasy races, kindness of strangers, the cavalry arrives. So many good ones!
#SeptemberWorldbuilders 29: Fantasy media I've been reading a lot of indie fantasy recently. This year I've read 11 indie fantasy novels and 4 short stories. (last year I only read 3) I also play Dark & Darker which is a difficult dungeon looter/pvp game that deserves more love.
