More RPG Projects

Template Troves, Volume II: Oozes & Aberrations by Silverthorne Games has been released. I wrote and edited on this e-book, so I just wanted people to know it was out there.

Lojban and Conlangs

Stumbled across a site called LangMaker, a sight devoted to Conlangs (constructed languages) i.e. artificial, fantasy and otherwise constructed languages. That is pretty cool in its own right but it also had a link to the Wikipedia Entry on Lojban, a logical language designed to avoid imprecision and allow the tight expression of language in a logical and complete form. It comes with a great light bulb joke which rather neatly summarizes the aims of Lojban:

Q: How many Lojbanists does it take to change a broken light bulb?

A: Two: one to decide what to change it into,
and one to figure out what kind of bulb emits broken light.


i.e. to avoid language which can be misinterpreted. Amusing.
