r/worldbuilding is a subreddit with 1.3M members. Its distinguishing qualities are that the community is size-massive, activity-crazy.
For artists, writers, gamemasters, musicians, programmers, philosophers and scientists alike! The creation of new worlds and new universes has long been a key element of speculative fiction, from the fantasy works of Tolkien and Le Guin, to the science-fiction universes of Delany and Asimov, to the tabletop realm of Gygax and Barker, and beyond.
This subreddit is about sharing your worlds, discovering the creations of others, and discussing the many aspects of creating new universes.
