I’ve been forging worlds for over 40 years. Every new world I create now begins, takes root, and comes alive exclusively in World Anvil. There is simply no better environment to organize, create and comprehend a complex, functioning, breathing universe.
World Anvil has been an invaluable resource for cataloging our world, events, and ideas, and sharing it with our podcast listeners. There's a virtually unlimited number of things to do with WA to make it your own. It helps that the team behind it are simply incredible people.
World Anvil gave me back a part of myself that I knew I had lost, but didn’t know how to get back. I will be forever grateful. As I write this today in 2023, I’m over 400K words for my ongoing RPG campaign.
I am a writer, game designer, and cartographer. But most of all, I'm an avid worldbuilder... and an avid user of World Anvil.
World Anvil has been invaluable for my TTRPGs, giving my players an easy-to-navigate wiki for all our campaign notes, and worldbuilding details. From my side of the screen, it makes prep and post-session book-keeping so simple... I couldn't be happier, and can't imagine running a West Marches game without it.
In good company
