A compilation of the second set of World-Building Prompt themes and questions for the World-Building Prompts account on Blacksky.
1
Hello all! The Oracle is back with more themes. The last set of themes (20 of them to be exact, with 80 unique questions and many more sub-questions) were fairly intense, and a lot of them came to me in a manic fervor. After taking a (well-deserved) break from them for part of the summer, I've come up with another set of themes (still in a count of 20, with an intended 80 questions).
I've used the same title as the old theme compilation, as I have edited its title for clarity. If you want to see all of the old prompts, you can do so here!
Due to World-Building Prompts being on BlackSky, the embeds will be from BlackSky. I will provide mirror links to a few other PDSes below each theme's main post, just to make it easier to quote-repost from here. Another change that I am making is that I've added all the weeks' themes here in advance, as a sort of Leaflet-exclusive sneak peek; if you want to plan for them now, you can!
