Re: 12 Word Cartographer – my process for drawing maps
Hey fellow conlangers. Over the last months, I've been working on a process for map drawing that would be simple (my personal target was: a procedure that can be expressed in 12 words) but would still implement some basics of plate tectonics and create better maps than something completely random o...

Re: 12 Word Cartographer – my process for drawing maps
I'd agree with Crey's recommendation of going to the Cartographers' Guild. I've not posted there in a long while, but do lurk, and there's a fair few people there who are really into world-building as a ground up process, and seem happy to share resources where they can I would say that if you have...

Re: 12 Word Cartographer – my process for drawing maps
Indeed thanks. I think I won't do it. People who join communities only to peddle their stuff always irk me, and that would be what I would be doing in that case. :)

Re: 12 Word Cartographer – my process for drawing maps
Sounds interesting. I'll take a look when I find the time. I was just thinking about Fredauon's plate tectonics last night. Just had a first look and it looks promising. Have you thought about sharing it on the Carthographers' Guild? Thanks for the kind words! What is the Cartographers' Guild? Is i...

Re: 12 Word Cartographer – my process for drawing maps
Hey Crey. No, it’s a procedure for drawing your own maps. It’s inspired by tectonic processes but distilled into a couple simple steps

Re: CBB Audio Relay I (Sign ups)
Really love the idea! I won't have the time to participate, personally, but I wish I could. Audio form gives a completely different quality to the exercise. And I hope you upload the recordings later for all of us to enjoy.

Re: Introduction to Arabic Music & Theory
If all instruments play in unison, how is improvisation handled? Do all instrument but one stay silent for a taqsim?

This is one of my favorite world building posts ever. I decided to buy your novel to support you. Let's see if I have the time to read it anytime soon. :)

Re: Are you a hunter-gatherer or a farmer?
Regarding MBTI, Sal is right that it's pseudoscience. Even worse, there's about 100 versions of MBTI on the web, with different goals, different type descriptions, and other differences. I wouldn't agree that it is complete nonsense, though. At it's core, it's an outgrowth of Jungian ideas, and whil...

Re: Documentation pitfalls
Personally, I'm chiefly concerned with writing a grammar that will help me recall the details of my conlangs. I'm failing even at that. Writing grammars is damn hard.

Re: Conlang word easter eggs?
I have a lot of Easter eggs in my lexicons but I usually put them in the proto-languages so they are not obvious. Two old ones I recently came across: - "sub" meaning "servant" in proto-Sa‘bdi (the surface form is "su") - "ɖeʂ" meaning "tongue, language&q...

My illness is taking the better of me. I don’t have the presence of mind necessary to complete the translation. Please remove me from the relay and pass on the torch to the next person in line. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Torch received, however...
I'm sick, and not sure I'll have the presence of mind to complete the torch within a reasonable time frame. I'll let you know if it turns out to be too much.
EDIT: I'll be using Thearpoy, BTW

Re: Thearpoy - a typo made conlang
PHONOLOGY - CONTINUED PROSODY AND STRESS Thearpoy has rhythmic stress, with every second or third syllable bearing stress and expressed fully, and the other syllables having reduced vowels. For reduced /a/ this can lead to complex clusters. While it can reduce the number of vowels on the surface, s...
