I wanted to ask you guys a bunch of questions you may not have thought about. Anyway, I found an article called "7 Deadly Sins of Worldbuilding" and found some really good questions/topics there. Some of them I modified to include those of you who have worlds entirely of non-humanoids. Others I came up from reading the article.
1. What do species/races do with waste? Where does the garbage go? Who takes care of it?
2. What's the ratio of poor and rich? What does the living situation of a poverty-stricken area look like? How about the richer areas?
3. Why is your villain doing villainous things now and not later? Why not next year or ten years later? Why now?
4. What are the two most common scents that can be found in your world?
5. How would/do species/races in your world react to the death penalty or any form of it such as execution? (I know this is dark, but I think it's important especially if you have a villain that is the same species/race as the majority)
