you really hit the nail on the head with theme discussion, i think. a lot of fantasy authors these days have the issue that they have a strong idea for a theme and interesting, complex worldbuilding, but their thesis is so grounded in the context of our modern sensibilities that they have to make their main character feel like a person plucked out of a 2024 Women Studies 101 college class to make it work and it ends up feeling so disingenuous

Hi! Just want to give a huge thanks for your channel! I listen while working nightshifts doing repetitive and boring labour, and your videos help me a lot! I get to learn so many cool historical facts and makes me think on cool plot and themes for my RPG campaigns. Extremely helpful!

[@JustInTimeWorlds]

It is my pleasure and thank you for being here :)

[@ichirokarahagi9931]

Hey, I just wanted to say that I'm glad to have found your channel. It has so many videos with good content that I still have to watch. It's kinda sad that the algorithm is sleeping on you but someday I think you'll get the attention for your excellent videos you deserve. And thank you for having made and still making such interesting viedeos as it really helps me in my wordbuilding project.

[@JustInTimeWorlds]

I think part of the problem is that I make diverse content and the algorithm doesn’t know quite who to show it to. But it’s starting to come right so maybe this year :)

[@katiekofemug]

I really appreciate your honesty about the evolving process. We don't build, write or live in a vacuum. This was fascinating and helpful and esp. encouraging that you don't have to be Perfect - you do have to grow, and if you stick with it, you will.

[@JustInTimeWorlds]

Really glad this helped

[@madelinebecker2074]

Enjoying hearing about your worldbuilding process!

[@JustInTimeWorlds]

That is really good to hear :D I was afraid I'd bore you guys, yapping on about the lore of my world.

[@madelinebecker2074]

@@JustInTimeWorlds it's honestly really helpful to hear the steps that you took to tie everything together, making worldbuilding so intensively intertwined with the story you want to tell if definitely a challenge!

[@presleybaldwin3756]

​@@JustInTimeWorlds It's a fascinating subject and a helpful one too. Congratulations on the subscriber count by the way.

[@anathema1828]

Thank you for posting & happy building everyone!

[@JustInTimeWorlds]

My pleasure :D

[@DamienZshadow]

I am so powder this achievement of yours. I have set it from the very beginning of when I first subscribed to you last year until now. You are probably the most underrathe channel on KZbin. Thank you for your commitment to quality work and your educational approach.

[@JustInTimeWorlds]

Thank you for being here :)

[@IlseMulAuthor]

Oh, chatting about worlbuilding and our worlds! I SO recognize that! When in livestreams, someone asked me one tiny thing about my world, I could give them a whole lecture (in a good way :D ) about it. So, I happily listen to other authors do the same! I just put all three books of the Sangwheel Chronicles on my wishlist :)

[@jaimehernandez8333]

Congratulations on the 5k! Your videos have taught me so much! May your audience continue to grow!!

[@ronecotex]

Fallout New Vegas is a perfect example of having a theme that's in world like it's not commentary in real life

[@presleybaldwin3756]

Fallout New Vegas is an amazing game, I never get bored of it.

[@dylanbuttera]

Thanks for another interesting video and congrats on 5k subs!

[@JustInTimeWorlds]

Thank you for being part of the journey!

[@Drudenfusz]

I cannot agree more about theme. Without it the fiction always feels flat to me. Writers seem to often get that right, but in the TTRPG space that is something people barely use.

[@occupationallystrong1606]

Congrats. Your content is great

[@سلمانقتل]

You have Great channel continue the great work👍

[@Dumpspace]

Yay, ty. Good vid.

[@TheMichaellathrop]

Do you think your own instinctual embedding of themes into your world was stronger or weaker than your deliberate usages? And how true do you think that is for most writers?

[@JustInTimeWorlds]

So for me, it's made it stronger. I still use my instincts, but I also consciously look for places to embed the theme deeper and that (IMO) enhances the story. I'm not sure about other writers, but I think the important part is not to lose the instinct, but to hone it with knowledge.

[@سلمانقتل]

Have a question what is your opinion about the world building in dungeon meshi and demon slayer and jujutsu kaisen

[@JustInTimeWorlds]

I'm afraid I watched neither of them :) I'll add them to my watch pile, but it's a very slow pile, even worse than my books TBR pile which is... stacked.

[@elgordo107able]

A lo mejor debería hacerte caso y solo crear lo que necesito cuando lo necesite.

[@JustInTimeWorlds]

It does make the writing faster.

[@elgordo107able]

I'm working on a Star Trek X Assassin’s Creed Crossover-like Fan Fiction, one where the Templars have Control over Starfleet, but only from the Shadows... using Starfleet to Hunt Down the Remaining Assassins' Decedents Also, I Added Hardlight Technology for Most of the Human Decedent Civilizations in this Crossover, which can be made into quite the Hidden Blade Variant for the Assassins The Assassin's Clearly Represent Freedom and the Templars Represent Order, as do two certain Factions in Star Trek, Namely the Bajorans and the Vulcans being Analgias to the Assassins and Templars Respectively in this Crossover The Central Theme is the Conflict between Freedom and Order and trying to Survive and Mitigate the Violence that come with it What are Your Thoughts?

[@JustInTimeWorlds]

This sounds like an amazing crossover concept. I love the idea of Templars secretly controlling Starfleet. The hardlight technology sounds fascinating. Perhaps you could explore the role of the Klingons as a wildcard faction that neither aligns with the Templars nor the Assassins? They could play the role of a mirror to your theme, reflecting either order or freedom, depending on which side they find most appealing.

[@tabbywolf801]

@@JustInTimeWorlds Some of the Great Houses of The Klingon Empire will Choose to side with the Assassins, Some other Great Houses will Choose to Side with the Templars Thanks for this Idea by the Way... Marie 😄

[@ronecotex]

When it comes to politics in books or games one thing you could do is Ferguson on in World politics like your theme about the 1800s focus on 1800 the sad fact is if you mentioned in real life politics someone's going to get upset I don't like it but that seems to be the way it is at least for now

[@presleybaldwin3756]

Yeah, it definitely takes skill to write politics. The reason people are sick of political agenda's in stories is due to really poorly skilled writers who think they're superior to everyone else.

[@JustInTimeWorlds]

Also studios who are churning out way too much content with way too little time spent on the writing.

[@presleybaldwin3756]

@@JustInTimeWorlds Yes, that's a great point.
