I never said anything like that.If the question is "how do they get their food" (which is a big if of a question), the answer could be "farming" or "hunting/gathering," which are one to two words, not sentences.If you recall, I gave this as an example: "goliath communities nearly always have a ruler with absolute authority, tend to be wary of outsiders, are prone to xenophobia, and grow their food." This is one sentence that answers three or four questions. This example could, perhaps, benefit from a second sentence that says, "most of their communities can be found in [this area of the world] or [climate/terrain], but certainly doesn't have to. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤦‍♀️" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f926-2640.png" title="Woman facepalming    :woman_facepalming:" data-shortname=":woman_facepalming:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />It's also a convenient word. It's why the subreddit is called r/worldbuilding and not r/showofftheworldyoumadetoothers, even though that would be a far more accurate title based on what most of the posts there are like.Because the point of the chapter is to teach people how to make a world. Therefore, neither the time nor resources have been wasted.I'd estimate that three-quarters or more of your arguments are either strawmen, trivial objections, and stuff you make-up whole-cloth.Please show me where I said anything like this chapter is going to be "horrible and without purpose, solely because they picked Greyhawk." Anything at all like that. Go on, show me. If you're going to reply to me, reply to what I actually wrote. Stop making stuff up and stop lying about what I said.</blockquote>
