This is part of my biggest problem with my current project. I desperately need someone to talk about the history and gods of this world (both for personal validation and for brainstorming) but it will still be a while until I can bring it to the table and talking to my players now would spoil some major plot points.
I think there are some World Building communities around. If none of your players use Lemmy, could be worth a look?
Do kinda wish there was a DM/GM Workshop comm, though. Place to talk world building, creature and NPC design, all the fun bits that happen behind the screen.
At least one of my players is on Lemmy and even somewhat active in this community (say hi if you read this).
You know what, maybe I’ll open just a DM workshop community on here and put in the effort to post what I have so far. Currently, my notes are fully in German and structured in a way that’s not easy to put in a linear thread but I’ll try.
Maybe ask them to block your account? That would keep them from seeing anything you talk about, though it’d also block any other communication here if that’s a problem.
Ironically, the most active rpg community here is the meme one, but you could definitely use the main !rpg@ttrpg.network to discuss World building and GM techniques

Could also just call their character out in whatever post you create, if they can be trusted to stay out then.
Is there an equivalent community for r/DMAcademy anywhere? I feel like that would be the perfect place for these kinds of discussions!

Posting it here again so you get a notification: I opened one at !DMWorkshop@ttrpg.network
Alright, I opened a new community at !DMWorkshop@ttrpg.network and posted at least a rough outline with more to come. Come on over.
