Man in Space’s Obligatory Medieval Fantasy Setting

Because everybody's got to have one. ---- So in this world, which has no name of yet, your primary players are elves and dwarves.

Re: What are you listening to/watching?

The final two songs from this King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard set, “Hypertension” and “Magma”, are positively sublime. (The rendition of “Self-Immolate” in the first half is utterly fantastic too.)

Re: Foxcatdog's Fiction Thread

Note Foxcatdog is my name on the ZBB i would change it but i can't. There is a way to request a nick change on the CBB. You have to hit up one of the admins, and then they’ll note the change in the appropriate thread. Don’t make a habit of it but if it’s an occasional deal (not a regular habit), th...

Re: How does one go back to college as a 30-something in the US?

I did it. I can’t say I was very successful. I also can’t say I can tell anyone how to do it. For me, the problem was not so much the course-work; instead, it was that I had forgotten how to be a sophomore! OTOH I was glad I did it. The campus was nice. Classes and labs were more fun than work. [ed...

Re: Miscellaneous fun facts about your conlang to share and know

In political satire, it is very common to find a way to artfully mention multiple powerful/untouchable inanimates (time, sun, fire, tsunami etc.) to fill up the upper ranks and then speak of the emperor or a regional king in the lowest rank. Such a usage is allowed . One emperor tried to outlaw suc...
