Just a quick note on my part. I've been trying to get back into the habit of reading D&D / RPG blogs of late. Gnome Stew used to be one of my go-to's for RPG tips, tricks and design.
As you may have realized, since COVID, one of my abiding fascinations has been with conlanging (the hobby / act of creating constructed languages). I've been reading up on it and on popular / academic linguistics.
Here is some news / review about a relatively new one-shot RPG Dialect where you and your friends create aspects of a new dialect over the course of this storytelling RPG. They also have a similar product where you create a new sign language over the course of the game -- inspired by the case of a new Nicaraguan sign language that spontaneously developed among deaf children in an orphanage there that were temporarily isolated from their greater society. There's also one called Xenolanguage that I haven't been able to dig much into its description yet, but which I find potentially very exciting.
The article can be found here. Woo-hoo!!
