Worldember 2025 Homework Prep

Review or collect your world inspirations.
  The inspiration for TamerlaneRP has evolved over the years. Poe has always been a part of our gaming and role-play, bringing a little punk and enhancing the dark fantasy aspect.

Inspiration and Comparatives For TamerlaneRP:

Finish all your unfinished articles.

And we are complete. Sometimes you write yourself into a circle of nonsense... Please see the re-read section.

Plan your world building playlist

I have the Spotify playlist linked in the sidebar. I may make a YouTube playlist since some of the writing music I listen to isn't on Spotify. Some videos can be found on our Meta Music page.

Re-read your core articles.

The problem with re-reading your core articles can sometimes create more work for yourself.   Yep, that was me.   I wrote myself into a circle by not making sure the old content aligned with the current, evolved content. I had to edit and rewrite and edit again. I will probably have to rinse and repeat after I create the new articles I plan to write in December.

Refresh your author page for new readers.
  And I did, fixed my banner, added some other chitty chat type things. Not sure what else I need. Link opens in a new tab.
  Check out my author's page! Let's be friends!

Define your scope for Worldember

Defined above in my pledge section.

Read a book

I read a lot, and by the time this page goes live, I will be reading a different book. I already made my TBR for December.

Make a list of articles to write.

I created a list of articles to write in my Obsidian vault, and I am glad I did. I started to create a to-do list in World Anvil, but since it created the actual article page with today's date, I deleted them all. I will add them to the WA to-do list after the event starts on December 1st.

Join the community

I joined the World Anvil Discord server a couple of years ago. I don't talk much in there, but I like to emojifi happiness for other people's accomplishments. I love cheering on people.

Create a mood board

I made one years ago, but with the changes, the old mood board is mostly irrelevant. If I get a chance, I will make a mood board. Right now it is not on the priority list of things to do.

Review your world primer article

Basically, the primer is content on two pages. The homepage contains information about our group, themes, etc. The intro to the player's guide tells you what to expect.

Free Space.

May or may not come up with an idea. Since it is not a free space, as it typically is in Bingo, I have not marked it yet.

Plan your writing schedule.

Ironically enough, I have a writing schedule that I do every day, and have been doing for 30 years. It works for me. There are times when I have "free space" in my life that I can use to add more writing time.

Review your world's visual appearance

I love TamerlaneRP's visual appearance. Better yet, it is cohesive with TamerlaneRP's main website.

Review or set up your world's homepage
  The homepage makes me happy. I haven't changed or added anything to it. When the email list and VIP vault are ready with free extra content, I will add links to the sign-up page for them.

Find an accountability buddy

I have some epic accountability buddies! Some are on World Anvil, but all of them are a part of the Raven Coterie. I also have accountability buddies here in the Springs and our epic weekly meetups.

Prepare visual elements

This is always an ongoing, almost never-ending process, and while we have made some images using Poser and Daz, there are more to be created.

What are the people in your world like?

In Progress as a write up.

Go for a walk

This is everyday, bro! If you pay attention, you see something new every day, even when you walk the same areas.

Review your category tree.

The current category tree makes sense for our needs, and the articles that I am writing as I go forward. All categories and subcategories are visible in the site menu.

Get some feedback.

Plenty of feedback given by the members of our community.

Make a list of stubs to expand

Faction - The Order of the Purple Flame
Faction - The Stylus Order of Scholarly Arts

Do some pre-writing research.

Reading on how to make good magic and tech systems from a few books I purchased, and online classes on the subject.

What adjectives describe your world?

Many adjectives describe our world and community.
