Re: Is worldbuilding pointless?

Pointless, I think not. Put only what is necessary in the stories. But, you still need to do world building beyond eliminating inconsistancies, which if the story is good may be missed by the reader. The reason being, how better to get some extra cash than to produce a guide to the world you created for your best-selling six volume series. Cash is King. At least if you enjoy living indoors and eating semi-regularly.
