variables -multiple-worlds cross-world
Having multiple worlds that are connected, it would be great to be able to define a varaible in one world (or globally) and use that variable in every world.
For example:
  • a news blurb about the book I'm releasing. I currently have to define a variable in both my book series world and my author world. It defeats the purpose of variables a bit to have to define it in both places.
  • a block with a set of referces (say for a book or RPG system) that could be deployed in any of my worlds.
  • I can think of other uses for it. But this should be enough to show the point.   Thanks for considering!

      I'd love to have something like this. It could potentially also be expanded to include things like images and tables. If one looks further it could become like a "creators world" where miscellaneous items go that need to referenced in other worlds, similar to a parent/child world, as per the other suggestion.

      I'm not against this, but in the meantime, you can use an RPG statblock as an announcement. I do this for my worlds currently. That way I only have to update one place when I want the announcement updated.
