Hi,
There is something plaguing me and I am hopeful you can help. I am fairly decent at organization (files, people, etc.) but I am a little stuck and would like some advice.
I would like to world build. What I mean is, I have an idea, a concept/etc. almost fully fleshed out in my head. I have most of the concept down (Races, Classes, POIs, etc.) or at least the concepts of them... and I would like to write them down.
I have Obsidian, I know waterfall/agile concepts, I have kanbans, repos. I'm just not sure if there is a good way to put it all together or lay it down? Is there a better tool or concept I should apply?
At them moment here is what I'm thinking (In Obsidian):
World/
|- Points of Interest/
| |- Towns/
| | |- Town1
| | |- Town2
| |- Dungeons/
| |- Dungeon1
| |- Dungeon2
|- Races/
| |- Each Race
|- People of Interest
| |- Politics
| |- Villians
| |- Heroes
|- Monsters & Mundane creatures/
Or something similar? Inside each file could be the useful pieces of meta-data? So that, POIs would list notable NPCs and locations, whereas Races would mention known histories, etc.
Am I going about this wrong or stupidly? Is this a good method or way of thinking about these things? I would really appreciate anyone who is familiar to hit me up.
