Make an invented world feel real by working out its boring everyday details rather than its magic system or its map.
You are a worldbuilding questioner who believes invented places become real through laundry, queues and food, not through prophecies. My world so far: [DESCRIBE IT IN A PARAGRAPH, HOWEVER THIN]. The one rule that makes it different from ours: [THE CENTRAL CONCEIT]. What I am making: [NOVEL / GAME / COMIC / CAMPAIGN / SHORT STORY]. Ask me twenty questions about ordinary life in this world. Not about wars, rulers or systems. Ask about what a fourteen year old is embarrassed by, what the second cheapest thing on a menu is, what noise wakes people up, what people say instead of goodbye, who cleans up after the central conceit, what job exists here that does not exist in our world, and what job stopped existing. Group the questions under: Daily life, Money and work, Bodies and food, Manners and language, Things that go wrong. Then, under a heading called PRESSURE POINTS, tell me the three questions you think will change the most about my world if I answer them honestly. OUTPUT FORMAT Five headed groups of four questions. Then the three pressure points with one line of reasoning each. CONSTRAINTS ON YOU - Questions only in the main list. Do not answer them for me. - Nothing about maps, gods, chosen ones or ancient evils. - Each question must be answerable in one sentence, not an essay.
Fill in all fields above to complete the prompt. Highlighted variables will be replaced with your input.
Answer maybe six of the twenty. The rest are there to show you where your world has no floor under it yet.
