Because of the societies we grow up in, we all have these inbuilt assumptions about the way things are. However, the best worldbuilders know how to get outside of those assumptions, so that they can create unique, different, realistic, and immersive cultures. My friend recently showed me a useful framework for doing this. In today's podcast, I talk about the six key dimensions of culture, and how you can use these to improve your worldbuilding.
