They have a type problem — and they keep trying to fix it with the wrong solution. In this video, I'll help you identify your worldbuilding type so you can stop spinning your wheels and actually start building worlds that feel alive. If you've ever stared at a blank map, abandoned a character halfway through, or built three magic systems but can't finish a single story — you're not broken. You're just building the wrong way for your type. I'll walk you through the core worldbuilding types, what drives each one, where each one gets stuck, and — most importantly — the specific shift that finally gets you moving again. Whether you're working on a fantasy novel, a tabletop RPG campaign, or a passion project that's been collecting dust for months, this one's for you. What you'll walk away with: → A clear sense of which worldbuilding type you are → Why your specific type keeps hitting the same wall → The exact creative shift that gets each type unstuck → A framework for building worlds that work with your instincts, not against them
