The culture of place is something that I find myself thinking about more and more as I build towards creating new worlds. When I think about place I think about the people and where they come from and what influenced them in a way to make them different from everything around them. There is a bit of bleed between cultures at the boundaries of places. People in New Orleans won’t be like people in Alabama, but closer to the border the similarities become quite apparent I imagine.
Culture is also driven by place in a geographical way. Weather plays a factor. All of these things coalesce to form who people are where tese people exist. It is not a simple thing to design a world based on multiple cultures without understanding how and why existing human cultures exist.
