This missed moment: My ultimate reason for loving worldbuilding frameworks

1. I am obsessed with cultures
2. I started worldbuilding reading National Geographic
3. My ultimate wonder, why do some areas have many ethnicities while others only have a few.
   1. Balkans verse Britain
4. Flexibility gives me the ability to look at the work in different time periods

If you are like Michael you might be a bit confused by the name of this episode.  These are a few ideas for worlds that I had though about last year.  If you are new to worldbuilding, you might think that this is a long list. It is not. This does not include every world, just the ones that came to mind quickly. Join Michael and I as we look at how Jeff approaches the problem of having to many worlds and to little time.
