I had a nice discussion with author Madeline James about how she has just begun learning conlanging to create naming languages and formulaic spells. Join us as we discuss how she focuses on limited conlangs for the needs of her story and about her journey learning the craft.

Today, ZeWei joins us to talk about their music and conlanging, as well as the Cursed Conlang Circus and more.
The product of ten months of livestreams and many hours refining words, grammar, and fonts, Ndăkaga is my version of D&D’s Draconic language. I’m using this language to create spell incantations for arcane spellcasters that you can use in your own games. Stay tuned for updates. Also, stay tuned for my next project, Sylvan, the language of the Fae, used by druids and rangers for their spells.
