![]() Each module ranges in price from $2.50 to $15 a year, with lifetime modules ranging from $7.50 to $45. It's really affordable with the a la carte model. Right now, I’m working on historical fiction, so I don’t need modules like species or magic. There is a limited free tier, or you can buy the modules monthly, annually, or lifetime. These include a manuscript module, as well as maps, timelines, relationships, cultures, religions, species, and more. But I’m now using it, loving it, and spending less per month than any other writing program I’ve tried.Ĭampfire currently features seventeen modules and catalogues. The “pay for what you need” model had me unsure about the value. I’ll admit I was skeptical about Campfire’s app. If you’re a serious, detailed worldbuilder, check out World Anvil. All the pricing options for the higher tiers are paid annually, but they are very affordable compared to other writing programs. There are four tiers, including a free tier. ![]() Janet and Dimitris from World Anvil joined us for ProWritingAid’s Fantasy Writer’s Week, where they took us on a full walkthrough of the software. It turns your own world into something that looks as nice as the D&D Player’s Handbook. What I love most about World Anvil is how professional it looks. And they are set up to help you monetize your worldbuilding if game creation is a field you want to break into. They have also added a manuscript feature for writing a novel or game campaigns. (Or is that just me?) There are interactive timelines and family trees, and all of these are linkable. The interactive maps are one of the coolest features, so you can say goodbye to your poorly drawn, handwritten maps on scratch paper. The program features templates for over 25 worldbuilding features, including religions, races and ethnicities, mythologies, spells, and even vehicles. If you plan on having lots of details, World Anvil is a great choice. This is the briefest overview but if you would like me to go more into detail on certain aspects, please let me know! And who knows, maybe I’ll do a mini-series….World Anvil is an all-rounder, catering to tabletop gamers, writers, and other creators alike. There are a ton of things you can do in World Anvil, like adding Maps, Timelines, making To-Do lists, even including Secrets and Spoilers. And voila! You have your own Wiki that you can call on when you’re not quite sure what color of eyes the barmaid has or when exactly the brother of your antagonist took over the throne of that one city somewhere east of that other city… Yeah. You’re never going to run out of space, so it doesn’t really matter when you continue.Īnd once you’re done with your article, you can view it. The best thing is that you don’t have to answer them all! You fill out what you know and the rest you can always add as you’re writing. So let’s say you want to start with a Character, you get all these options and ‘questions’ you can fill in. ![]() Even the things you would never think of, but are important to making a realistic world. From Characters to Items to Professions to Languages, World Anvil has a template for EVERYTHING. They have all these different templates that you can use to really bring your world to life. Good question! World Anvil is an online platform that gives you the ability to create a sort of Wiki for your WiP. And I have never regretted it at all! And today, my dear, I am hoping you will feel the same way after this post. ![]() Kind of ironic, I know.īut then I saw a post about World Anvil and I decided: what the hell, let’s check it out. I didn’t feel engaged enough to put work and effort in a blank document. And I think the biggest reason for that was because it wasn’t attractive. But needless to say, it did not work for me. I will be making a post about that real soon. The first thing I tried was making my own writer’s bible in Word. For those who don’t know anything about me as a writer, let me tell you this:īut as I started fleshing out Queen of Darkness and I realized it would become a trilogy, I also realized something else: I would need to store all of the things in a organized way. ![]()
