@TheDarkSide We are trying to provide quality answers to worldbuilding questions, similar to how Stack Exchange is trying to provide quality answers to programming questions.

@TheDarkSide probably the tour is the best place to start: worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/tour

Short version, if you are making a world for a story, game, or whatever, and something just isn't working right, you can come here to ask questions to get you unstuck.
