The Cosmic Creator Games

 Hi everyone! I’m back with THREE new journaling tools called Cosmic Creator, Cosmic Creator Part Two, and Cosmic Creator Part Three! These journaling tools, which I hesitate to call games, are useful for anyone looking to create their own worlds from scratch! Inside are prompts full of questions that give meaning to your choices in worldbuilding. They are also FULL of name tables for inspiration!


Cosmic Creator, the original, has twenty different prompts that will help you flesh out your general world. Cosmic Creator Part Two has event prompts to help you create the history of your world. And Cosmic Creator Three has thirty different prompts in five different genres: Horror, Futuristic, Post-Apocalyptic, Mythology, and Space. Each genre has six prompts each, designed to make you think about different aspects of your world.


An example of a prompt would be like this from the original Cosmic Creator:


Prompt 12: Religion

What is your world’s religion like? Do the people worship you, the Cosmic Creator God, or have they made their own gods? Do they worship the spirits of nature? How important is religion in your world? Are daily prayers common, or do people only pray when they require something? Are there churches and temples? Shrines? Statues to your greatness? Are there prophets in your world who foretell of a Chosen One? Are the prophets correct? If so, who is the Chosen One?


You answer the prompt in 2 to 4 or more sentences, trying to answer each of the questions in the prompt in your sentences. In practice it just works. It’s become a major part of what I do, which involves a lot of worldbuilding. I use the Cosmic Creator series to make my own games. It’s also perfect for fiction writers! Or anyone who is making a world for any reason, really.


Here’s another example, this one from Cosmic Creator Part Two:


Prompt 10: Civil War

A realm has fallen into civil war. What started this conflict? What are the traits of both sides? Is it a rebellion? Two princely brothers fighting over the title of king? Will you interfere somehow, or just let whichever side prevails rule this realm?


In this prompt you can see that the questions can be leading. They simply offer up suggestions or inspiration for you to come up with your own answers. There are endless ways to answer these prompts and questions, and all answers will be unique to the writer using these books. I really hope these books make worldbuilding not just easier for others, but also fun! I find them fun to use and they give me things to think about when worldbuilding that I normally wouldn’t.


If you enjoy these books like I do, please consider leaving a small donation on my itch.io or drivethrurpg store page. Every dollar helps me to fund the next big project I’m working on!
