Random Filler Challenge Week – Days 5-7

Random Filler Challenge Week – Days 5-7

Hi guys! I’m about to head away for the weekend and I’m not sure how good my internet connection will be, so just to be safe here are prompts for Fri-Sun! I liked the character generator from yesterday since it let me actually translate (hehe), so here are 3 more prompts from it: This gentleman makes you think of a malevolent demon. He has narrow eyes the color of the midnight sky. His thick, straight, black hair is long and…

Random Filler Challenge Week – Day 4

Random Filler Challenge Week – Day 4

Thursday! More random prompts! I’m gonna go with the Character Generator again because I think these have the most relevant (and non-niche) words, it seems. This time, though, it’s the General Character Generator since that one provides longer, more interesting prompts. This intelligent gentleman has hooded eyes the color of varnished wood. His fine, straight, chalk-white hair is worn in a style that reminds you of a tangled bush. He is short and has a graceful build. His skin is…

Hi guys! Since we are without NeoMahler this week and I really want to keep poking my conlang and the challenges are good for that, I thought we’d have a silly, filler challenge week. Basically since I can’t think of anything better, I have used on of the random generators at Seventh Sanctum (in this case, the Quick Character Generator) to generate the following randomness: The crippled boatman coping with mental illness. The nimble, generous philosopher. The amiable acrobat who…

Show me your dictionaries? What makes a good dictionary?

Show me your dictionaries? What makes a good dictionary?

I am getting to the point where I don’t want my dictionary and my grammar in the same file anymore, so I’m setting up a separate dictionary file soon. I downloaded Lexique Pro to try it out but honestly, I think I’d rather just do a text file for mine. It just seems easier? I don’t know. How do you organize and format your dictionary? What sorta info do you include? What do you think characterizes a good dictionary? If…

Thought Experiment – What would a dragonborn accent sound like?

Thought Experiment – What would a dragonborn accent sound like?

In August my D&D group are starting a new campaign and I’ll be playing a Dragonborn for the first time. For those unfamiliar, dragonborn is a D&D fantasy race that’s basically a reptiloid race with dragon blood. When you watch rpg streams and stuff, there’s a tendency for people to give dragonborn chars this deep, big, broad-chested kind of voice. I don’t really wanna do that: partially I don’t think I’d be good at it and partially I don’t think…
