What you might want to do is to actually buy that world. And play with
it for awhile... Eventually you will see that something needs to be
changed or added to. BUT you don't have the correct object.
Hmmmmm..... Now i have a NEED for the object... Better start to learn
how. That should get you going.

then you won't see the designed appearance.. some world's have some backdrops intentionally.. you might change it before you look
around, and thing's won't look right when you do..

: AW has already lost a LOT of important older citiens like Little Bull, Grover, Dataman, Rjinswand, Dean (Challagar), Spring Dew,
etc, etc. AW's worldbuilding community has really gone to the shits in the past couple years because of it, too... :/
