New mini writing challenge! 🌍 World Builder Club! Sep '26: Beyond DEATH! 👻
Spooky season will be here before we know it! Design a form of capital-D "Death" in your fantasy world! 🚨 But don't comment your submission here on YouTube! Comment on this public Patreon post! 👉www.patreon.com/bobworldbuilder/posts/world-builde…
This could be a deity, an undead monster, a ritual, or an artefact, or even a natural phenomenon that reaches beyond the veil or that staves off death, or any other fantastical interpretation that relates to the end of mortal life!
💠Because this prompt is open-ended, start your submission with a name and a category or two: i.e. "Dwupmar The Last Breath - Deity and monster"
💠Then write no more than 4 sentences to detail it, and include at least one sensory detail among your lore and/or mechanics: taste, scent, sound, texture, temperature, pressure, color, shape, etc.
💠For inspiration, get weird. Think of your favorite food, song, or outdoor activity.
💠Submit your "form of Death" as a comment on the post linked above by Fri Sept 18, 2026 to be considered for review in the next podcast episode on @BobsRPGRadio !
💠And reply with hype or constructive feedback on 1+ other comment :)
🤔 What do YOU think is next for D&D Universes Beyond? (After Star Wars) I'm seeing LOTS of predictions. Might discuss in an upcoming video! ***This week's vid goes into why Dark Sun is a "mature" setting now. Check it out Tuesday Aug 18!
🤔 POLL! Which of these D&D announcements / settings are YOU most excited to see? ***I know folks have mixed opinions on at least a couple of them, which we'll talk about in tomorrow's video! Aug 11. ...Then next week, we'll discuss the one that I'm pretty sure is gonna win this poll 😎
I keep forgetting to mention this on YouTube! 🌍 Here's the 'World Builder Club' mini-writing challenge for August: THE SWORD ⚔️
Your new challenge is to design a noteworthy weapon! But this isn't just your version of Excalibur. It can be any kind of weapon, and it must be weird...
💠Write no more than 5 sentences detailing a unique, fantastical weapon!
💠1 sentence must describe an unusual sensory detail: its smell, temperature, weight, texture, state of matter, sound (its voice?), etc.
💠The other 4 sentences should focus around ONE of the following: the weapon's greatest deed, its most famous or infamous wielder, its creator or creation story, its mystical property/properties, perhaps a related faction... and of course, give it a cool name!
💠For inspiration, think about your favorite superhero or monster, and how its powers and personality could translate to an object.
💠Submit your "SWORD" as a comment on the post linked above post by Aug 22, 2026 to be considered for review in the recap podcast episode on @BobsRPGRadio !
