    A Hexagonal Slab Of Wood, by Cîang Raokji

    A Hexagonal Slab Of Wood is a book written by fictional Baishu player Raokji Cîang, in which he talks about how he came to know the game of Baishu after escaping from his town in Hrastaiqua, and how he came to see the magic in it while learning strategies to make the game interesting, and then to win the game competitively.

    I started writing this story after I showed the first version of Baishu to my friends and they liked it. I decided that I had to set it in a world of its own, where maybe it had some kind of importance in the societies in which it's present. It's not finished yet, but I hope it's a good read!

    Official Laiqbun Matrix Space

    We have made a space for the Laiqbun community, with a room for the language itself, a room for off-topic conversation and a room for discussion about the fictional culture.

    A Laiqbun cheatsheet

    It tries to explain most of Laiqbun basic grammar quickly, and I think it's best used when people can explain you what things are supposed to mean (which are what the discord server and matrix room are there for). I'm pretty proud of it.

    I tried out the Searx search engine and searched for laiqbun and found this. I have no idea who made it nor how does it work, but it's pretty cool

    Survivor's 9-Step Guide To Conquering The Multiverse

    I've been working on this thing for a while, and yesterday it reached 100 pages. I copy the format that MSPA uses, since MSPA format is, to me, iconic of extremely convoluted plots that don't make sense at first and escalate a lot

    I try to keep the text on each panel short. That way the story doesn't become hard to read. It's got a RSS feed too, to make it easier to follow updates

    Updates are usually 6-12 pages, but there have been cases with more or less than that

  • Besides being fully finished (it's not even on version 1.0 yet)? I'd say topic variety. Currently most of lemmy's content is very techy stuff, which is enough for people like me who are into that, but reddit has active communities for a lot of interests. Lemmy stuff is like, privacy this, linux that, tor this, development that, while reddit is more like, privacy this, conlang that, drawings this, water that, politics that other thing, etc

    I think this is the kinda stuff that will come over time as people start using Lemmy, tho. Art nerds, water nerds, bird nerds, etc will come around and create communities for their interests, and people who are interested in those things will come to share their interests too

    Announcing Raiaqsuq, the new writing system and font for Laiqbun

    How to follow a community from another instance?

    My main instance is sopuli.xyz, but I often explore lemmy.ml for communities to follow since most of them are there. The problem with this is that in the app there's no option to subscribe to a community from another instance, or I haven't found it, at least.

    Is there a way to do this?

    Announcing Raiaqsuq, the new writing system and font for Laiqbun

    During the last week, a Mysterious Benefactor paid someone to make an official font for Laiqbun. Making a font for the original Laiqbun script (Raiaqbun) was near-impossible, due to the huge amount of glyphs. So what he did is creating a new writing system that he could actually make a font for. I have called it Raiaqsuq, from the roots reiaq (x1 is a writing) and seq (x1 is new).

    The script is typed slightly different than the romanization and is very different from Raiaqbun, but it still keeps the vibe that Laiqbun is going for. Eschar really did a good job while making this font.

    I hope people have as much fun using it as I have.

    How words move around while translating a Laiqbun sentence

    I've always loved this kinda images, so I'll prolly do some with more complex sentences. That'd be fun
