This is another in my series on fantasy worldbuilding. This one is a bit different. Some fantasy books are set on Earth, somewhere in the distant past, or far future after an apocalypse, some on a parallel version of Earth. This video explores if you should set it on Earth, reader expectations, limitations and potential pitfalls.
