Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.
Are you here to participate in a specific proposal? Click on the proposal tag (with the dark outline) to see only posts about that proposal and not all of the others that are in progress. Tags are at the bottom of each post.

Supporters for a Worldbuilding community on Codidact I would like to get a picture of the general supporters (those who are "okay" with this) for a Worldbuilding community. Supporters are not meant to be obliged to participate actively. Just interested in it and not opposed to it. See the proposal) for details. If you just want to give a quick fe... (more) |

Allowed types of questions for Worldbuilding I like the proposal text and have actually very little to add. Should be a solid starting ground. One concern I have is the general thing with "malformed questions". I strongly advocate for not having a strict policy of "ask your question correctly or it gets closed". I would like to emphasiz...

I like the proposal and have actually very little to add. Should be a solid starting ground. I think you found the right place for your definition of "The Art of Worldbuilding" :)
One concern I have is the thing with "creative questions", "brainstorming" and "mal-formed questions". I strongly advo... (more) |

A: What would be the best way to breathe for a creature that shoots fire from its mouth? I suggest some modes to pick in order to adjust the breathing. Some of which can be combined: Can just breathe normally: This would solely be based on the assumption that the whole organism is resistant to fire and well adapted so the nose/nostrils, lungs, etc. are also able to withstand high temp...

I really like that your experience here seems to be positive. I for one experienced nearly the same stuff as over at SE. Meaning: There is a lot of judgement and voting going on with rather little encouragement for trying out new things.
Your question is the shining light-house here! The first qu... (more) |

Ah I get you now. You are talking essentially about the same thing I was proposing on Meta with the Dashboard or having "Filter buttons" that show similar topics on all sites, so having a way to see posts to tags across sites.
The example you gave will not work if "star-wars" is used but not any o... (more) |

I know... but new users who might want to join the community don't.
I just want to make sure: IF a community would exist, that answer I gave would probably be made a true rule. There is no community yet. So the posts and answers get downvoted. That is non-sense.
I would really like to have a cl... (more) |

I can understand your idea, but no, I like to have that in the Q&A part. It is an essential piece of information that would be part of the "community-to-be-site". Not a meta topic. Directly accessible.

Can you please give additional details to the appearence?
What is the form of this creature like? You said humanoid. I think more of a "dragon" maybe? Can you describe it a little (only a few sentences or bullet points, not a full backstory)?
Also the size please. Is it large like KingKong (be... (more) |

A: Can I ask Worldbuilding questions here? Edit: Because the real community is not existing yet and therefore had no chance on establishing rules of how things would be handled, the following "vision statement" is not really in place (yet). But there are already some who don't like the idea, which is expressed in the downvotes. I would say... (more) |

Can I ask Worldbuilding questions here? I would like to ask something about a world I am designing. Can I ask that here? Is this like in StackExchange and I get closed and downvoted without help?

Just to make sure: You know that you can click on a tag and see a list of all questions that belong to them?
The proposal question is part of that list and (most of the time) can be found as the first entry, thus at the very bottom of the list. If there is no proposal question inside it, this means ... (more) |

I think it is very good to have a link list/resources list to existing examples, which help the intent of the question.
I for one did not know that you can use OSM as inpiration for something like this and did also not know that there is essentially a comprehensible list in text form on github.

A: Is there room for a long list of types of buildings and facilities in a city or country? I think your idea is awesome! Asking if this "belongs" on Codidact and worrying about it is - at this point in time - not the main aspect; It should not be and it cannot be. Because such things won't come into existence ever if everybody is shy about posting them. See my post on Meta about this ... (more) |

I really like the creative take on the commonly known "Worldbuildin". I worry if this is not too much considered something "geo-political" or mixed up with that.
What do you think of "Worlds&Stories"?
Or maybe "The Art of Worldbuilding"? :D (more) |

A: How do we encourage answerable Philosophy questions? I think even the broadest questions like "What are good and evil" has to be deemed a valid question to philosophize about. The answers will have all kinds of flavors. Maybe even bringing in aspects of religion and not only of one but many. You can argue there has to be "an" answer or even a "best... (more) |
