Ok so this questions prompted me to think of something I feel we should have thought of a long time ago.
I think it would be a great idea to create a community wiki (or wiki's depending on how many responses we get) for world-building resources. I'm talking:
- Books
- Websites
- Software
- you get the idea.
For example, each answer could be topic specific and broken into sections
Sample:
Creating Magic Systems
Resource books and guides:
- Book 1
- Book 2
- Book 3
Helpful websites/communities
- Site 1
- Site 2
- Site 3
Useful Software
- Program 1
- Program 2
- Program 3
Reference material and examples
- This section might be stories you would recommend to people as examples
- Material 2
- Material 3
