While there is mention of Society Crafter, just wanted to add that I really like that utility. When I was working on a fantasy setting, I was sometimes using it to give me quick overview/history of given towns, villages and cities. I think of the World History and Society Crafter tools as slightly different in scope. If I want to think about a wider scale than a given city and/or people, I'm more likely to use the World History tool, but when I "zoom in" on a smaller region where there can be a shared inception story or a shared focus, I like to use Society Crafter. It's not always black and white though. If I'm playing sci-fi and I want to build out a specific planet, I could probably use either World History and/or Society Crafter if there is only one major settlement.
Thank you for the comment, Patrick :) That's a good comparison, the Society Crafter versus World History. I like how you broke it down, how they both accomplish similar goals but at different scales and levels of granularity. I'm a big fan of the concept of zooming out and zooming in while playing. I think being conscious of the level of detail you're currently seeking in a solo game helps with the pacing and getting what you want out of the experience. Thank you for pointing that out. I don't think I've ever mentioned those two resources being used together or in counterpoint to each other in that way before.
Hmmm... A Magical Tradition does imply a society with characters that cast spells ... calling into a radio show ... which... which... could be found in a Deadworld Dome. I'm sick, I know.
!!! ... now I kind of want to do that.
