The podcast host provides updates, announces plans to start streaming, and reveals new project to create language Draconic for Dungeons and Dragons. Join us on Fridays for a new conlanging event after Langtime Studio, appealing to conlangers and fans of D&D.

CD Covington, author of an upcoming book on linguistic worldbuilding, discusses exploring challenges of navigating culture and language, phonetics in linguistic worldbuilding, creating realistic and comprehensible alien languages, prestige dialects, integrating language into narrative and world building, and borrowing words and phonetic changes in a new language.

George interviews Biblaridion on conlanging, worldbuilding, and YouTube.

George has obtained information on the conlang Rasharnian created for Immortals of Aveum. This is a critique of that language as well as a discussion of issues surrounding it that were brought up in the conlanging community.

George has David and Jesse on to talk about Kopikon! Links:

Here’s the audio of my talk at LCC10. The video version can be seen here.

We have two conlang conferences coming up this year. LCC10 is this weekend, and in September, we’ll have Kopikon!

George talks about his experience streaming during Lexember. NOTE: This episode was written and recorded in the middle of the D&D OGL debacle. The way it was resolved changes some calculations slightly, but I’m still a bit perturbed by it. Original Script

Aidan Aannestad comes on the show to talk about information structure, which included discussions on topic and focus and how they can be realized in language. Links and Resources

George will be streaming word creation for Lexember every Saturday of the month at 1 PM US Central Time! You can check it out here!
