A TRUE WORLDBUILDER PROCRASTINATES ALL DAY

Who knows what sick, twisted thoughts lurks in the hearts of worldbuilders? Worldjerking knows! A warning to all travellers: here be splitting rivers, elven subraces, original characters (do not steal), and magic systems... so many magic systems. Turn back now, or may God have mercy on your soul. tl;dr: this sub is for satirizing trends in the hobby of worldbuilding, as well as those within the broader speculative fiction community.
