New prompt list!
Just in time for June, I've whipped up a prompt list full of culturebuilding considerations.

ysabetwordsmith compiled a list of worldbuilding topics a while ago, which is quite handy for getting a feel of the world in which your story takes place; it's got topics like Continents, Nations, Atmosphere, Orbit, Climate, Precious Metals, etc. But while I was playing around with it, I realized I wanted something with a different focus: something that would help me figure out the day-to-day experience of walking around or living in a location.
So, on my Bingo generator, under the Community-Contributed Lists section, I've got a new Culturebuilding Considerations (by An) list. With it, you can generate a card like this one, which you're free to use as a public card:
I hope it'll be complimentary to existing lists on there. For example, you might use Ysabet's list to develop the world in which your story takes place, and then increase the magnification and work through the culturebuilding to help you inhabit the world.
Enjoy!
