We make up languages for a fantasy setting.
I'll start:
>Swordspeak
This language is not spoken, but rather it uses dual-wielding sword stances in a manner similar to semaphore-flag signals in order to communicate silently from great distances.
This language has a written form; the letters are abstract representations of sword wielding humans assuming their stances.
>>44131165
Why would anyone ever bother to invent a language like that instead of using semaphore-flag signals?
>>44131200
1) The language emerged from repurposed training techniques.
2) Learning the language from a young age also teaches you to be a better sword-fighter.
3) They already had all these swords laying around...
>>44131200
Not OP, but I can think of one. Say the nobles of different nationalities in that realm get more and more autistic about duels and the corresponding etiquette. What started as simple "stances" as basically a handshake to the opponent, after a few centuries become full blown poetry contests before matches. That could be a start to a simple sign language.
Anyone got a scan of this yet?
Also does anyone want or need the previous two books?
>>44130975
Need, yes please.

Restraint and common sense.
Previously, our young protagonist returned to her hometown, finding little difference at the surface. Soon, however, she realized the feud between the two royal factions had grown out of control. The house of the Red Queen was poised to overthrow the house of the Black Queen, turning the kingdom into a machine of war. After discovering a way to potentially cure Mona of her demonic curse, as well as meeting the true heirs to the throne, our protagonist agrees to infiltrate the castle of the Black house, and retrieve the best one remaining relic that may sway the people to the...

The warrior monks aid you by applying an ancient, far-eastern healing technique, strengthening your body until you feel good as new despite your remaining wounds. They also outfit you with a new set of clothes wovendors of silk, leather, and soft cotton. The colors are deep red and yellow, save for the leathers that guard your soft bits, which are dark and rich brown. They also drape you in a red cloak, which bears a glamour that will help prevent you being spotted so long as no person looks directly at you. Finally, they outfit you with a set of finely crafted throwing stars,...

Mona slides off of the table she has been warming with her seat, and dusts herself off.
"I was reading some history books while you were being healed. This catalyst they want is strange. It predates the kingdom, but it's never been used for anything. The Dragon slayer king and his original companions kept it around, and declared it a treasure of the same value as their relic weapons, but other than that it's pretty vague what the thing actually does."

So this guy in my 5e group is saying that telepathy should count as a language that you can pick up, like acting the same as Common or Dwarvish. Someone in the group says that it shouldn't count as a language that you can learn, but it's more like an ability. What does /tg/ think?
source for that pic?
Nah, Telepathy is a power. Your guy wanting it to count as a language is trying to powergame.
>>44130803
It's definitly more like an ability. If it counted as a language there would be no reason to take anything else, since Telepathy lets you bypass the language barrier entirely.
Like, imagine if this was your list of options for language

>Elven
>Dwarven

In the previous episode: Lancer and Shizune have attacked Misha and Berserker, branding them as traitor. Despite Berserker getting the upper hand, Lancer defeated him, and he's now trying to "dispose" of you as well.
=============
A stony silence fell on the battlefield. Misha's sadness has now turned into genuine fear for her life. Your right hand is clenched around your left wrist, ready to summon Ananke if necessary.
Shizune is still looking...

Misha laughs bitterly. "My family? John, have you forgotten where you are? Families dump their 'special' kids at Yamaku when they don't want them around anymore. No exceptions".
You stop and think. You don't even have a family to begin with.
You are probably not fit to cheer Misha up, but you have to say something.

>>44130603
"have you forgotten what Berserker said?"
Your words seem to have piqued her interest.
"She said that when all seems lost, your friends got your back. I have your back. And Berserker too. He promised you'd be friends forever".
She smiles, this time a little bit more brightly.
"You are very lonely, John. Aren't you? This is why you always try to help people".
Her words take you by surprise. You never realized how lonely you were up to this point. Is she saying...

On the frozen planet of Rassael stood a hidden yet impotent temple dedicated to the God-Emperor of humankind. Inside of its holy walls there was a group of faithful humans with a clear objective on their hearts and minds. Protecting the faithful and purging any trace of corrupting deviation.
The temple is constantly assaulted by howling winds that seem to carry whispers of the past, present and future with them. To the touched by his grace those whispers can become yelling screams. It is unknown what or why on that desolated planet the winds carry those words but the...

That danger and those scarring death were considered an affordable price. Those same voices that had turned so many people mad did also save countless of Imperial lives with their premonitory murmurs. The Sisters decided that they would sacrifice their sanity and souls for their cause, and changed their name to Martyrs of the Order of his Gilded Anima. Several thousands chiming bells were constructed from gold mixed with the ashes of their deceased and most loyal Sisters. With the constant winds those bells started...

The Martyrs didn’t abandon their true mission and from time to time they sent Sisters to scout and explore the planet in the search of the source of the voices. Those missions were rotary; they spent three months exploring and the rest of the years doing different duties, that way they let their brains rest and purge any kind of taint that they could have gotten from outside. Another new addition to their small corner of the Galaxy was the creation of the Infinity Bell, a massive bell that rested on top of...

Okay guys this is the page to plan the future of this game, make trades, offer suggestions and plan your next season with your allies.
The last thread got archived way faster then it should have, it was obviously active, I guess I'm not sure how that works.

How does your GM encourage the use of appropriate weapons? Does your group like it? Why don't you use and estoc or mace?

How do souls function in your settings?
How are they created?
Do they have something significant in them?
Do the souls go to some afterlife or there is something much more to it?
Post your souls.
Also may be something philosophical in it.
>>44127819
Tasty. Sort of tropical fruit flavoured, mixed with the sensation of pop rocks, what lime-yellow tastes like and a sudden expansion of mental perspective.
Good with pizza.
>>44127832
You are some soul-eating creature?
>>44127846
No. It's just what I imagine souls would taste like. If anyone manages to eat one in my setting, that's what they'll be told it tastes like. Sort of like divine Lilt mixed with a sudden epiphany.
Why, what do you think they taste like?
