That's cool. I make shit up in my head all the time but when it comes to actually writing it down it all falls apart. The same thing happens when I try to draw. People that are able to actually get their creativity out of their head are impressive to me.

I suck at creative writing too, but I bullet point stuff then whack it in chatgpt and that does all the creative stuff for me! Try it out, if you like!

Oh I am not able at all to draw too, I can't make it if I don't have an idea in my head (and then the technic is bad behind)

I started writing my DnD (Now Pathfinder 2) adventure/world because I was tired of waiting for someone to "maybe invite me some day" and I started very very simply

There is a King, he's old, he was a hero, and he looks like the old guy in Atlantis (Disney). Ok, now what. I guess the guy has a Kingdom, but that's really big and scary to write. So he has a big developed Greek City. If it's Greek then he must have a Greek God. I don't have any Greek gods made. So let's make like one God Hmmm god of knowledge yeah, and to not have to make to much gods, let's say it's like the main god of the city. Even better, let's say they made the city together ok So now there must be a big temple

And I continue and continue and continueto add one things after the other that's basically it and what makes building for roleplaying games fun
