We went to you for questions about world building, and you had some really good ones. The questions are listed below, and our answers are secreted within MP3 file. * Has there ever been a piece of world building that you didn't include, and regretted not including? * How do you remain consistent? * How do you decide between writing a secondary world fantasy, and creating an historical fantasy? * Can you avoid cultural appropriation while still using elements inspired by other cultures? * (This one is getting a can of worms: there's an entire episode on cultural appropriation coming up) * What's the minimum amount of world building required?
