Let’s explore what a truly magical society would look like — and how you can make YOUR worldbuilding more believable, immersive, and unforgettable. Thank you so much for watching!

When we think of fantasy worldbuilding, we often focus on castles and maps—but cities are where your world truly comes alive. I just got back from San Francisco, and it hit me: this real-world city is a masterclass in how to build depth, culture, and layered history into your fantasy worlds. In this video, we break down how San Francisco’s evolution—from Indigenous land to Spanish mission, from Gold Rush boomtown to tech capital—can teach us essential lessons for designing cities in TTRPGs, novels, and worldbuilding projects.
