Master Inspiration List for Sky World

Master Inspiration List for Sky World

In the most recent episode, I mentioned having found the old notebook that contained a master list of inspiration for the Sky World we detailed in Episode 8: Let’s Build a World. I was originally going to scan the page in and post the image but my handwriting is atrocious, so I’ve decided to present the information here as a bulleted list! The list contains the full titles of the materials so it should be fairly easy to google anything you’re unfamiliar with.
