H836: Fantasy Worldbuilding: Integrating Social Science into Inventive Fiction in Splash Fall 2021 (Oct. 30, 2021)
This course breaks down common approaches to fantasy worldbuilding—a fascinating pillar of fictional storywriting—and guides you through inventing unique cultures and history to transform nebulous ideas into a concrete world for your story. By drawing from our own human history, we can turn the ordinarily glossed-over subject into a powerful tool for immersive storytelling. This course is especially recommended for prospective novel writers or tabletop gamemasters looking to design their own worlds, but is open to anyone interested in learning more about worldbuilding.
