Worldbuilding Round-Up

As a result of both my current "crockpot" project being fully in its worldbuilding stage, I've been putting together some of my bottom-up worldbuilding thoughts into a more cohesive form.  While worldbuilding is equal parts art and craft, it does require a fair amount of research and competence in a number of different fields of expertise.

But in the meantime, here are some posts and other resources for the basics of bottom-up worldbuilding:

Hope you can find this useful.  I hope to put this stuff together into a single document in the near future.  Possibly so I can have handouts at panels.  Handouts would make me look extra prepared, no?
