Fantasy Constructed Languages Part 7: Parts of speech - verbs (Part 2)

To do this, I have my list of Fairy sounds, my organized 55 basic swadesh verbs, and already created and organized into related Fairy nouns. Also unseen, I have a spreadsheet with my existing words open put into alphabetical order so that I can make sure I haven't already used the word that I will create.

Most of my focus goes into making the first syllable of each word. I pick an initial sound, check my current word list so that I'm aware of other words that might be similar. Once I have the first syllable, either vowel-consonant or consonant-vowel, the rest of the word is made just by looking at my sounds.

I then say the word with the other noun words to make sure they are somewhat in harmony.

I'll do the first 28 verbs in this post and then the 2nd half 27 in the next post.

Total Words in Fairy Language

To the 139 words that we made in the two prior posts, we have now added 28 important words, which brings our total Fairy words to 167 important basic Fairy words.

The next post I need to add the 2nd half of the verbs.

Which method is the best? (5e x 5)

I wanted to spend one post looking at different attribute score generating methods. I'll roll three sets of numbers for this analysis to be used in the first four methods. I'm doing so in order to evaluate the current text in the 5e x 5 for generating stats. Because of this evaluation, we may include some of these into the next revision.

1. Random - leave it to chance

01, 74, 92, 95, 07, 70
26, 96, 31, 13, 80, 54
92, 87, 96, 32, 20, 32
These numbers are all over the place. Some extremely low, and some very high. It's entirely random.

2. Random, drop the lowest

01, 74, 92, 95, 07, 70, 26
26, 96, 31, 13, 80, 54, 40
92, 87, 96, 32, 20, 32, 43

This does help remove the lowest of the rolls. It doesn't really help when rolls are extremely low several times in a row.

3. X#  sets, pick the best

01, 74, 92, 95, 07, 70
26, 96, 31, 13, 80, 54
92, 87, 96, 32, 20, 32

Out of the first set in #1 I could pick which of the sets that I like the best. This method would leave random probability, but give a character a choice of picking the luckiest batch of numbers.

4. Random with minimum threshold, re-roll numbers that are under X. I'll re-roll numbers 10 and lower.

01, 74, 92, 95, 07, 70, 26
26, 96, 31, 13, 80, 54
92, 87, 96, 32, 20, 32

5. Standard Arrays

75, 70, 60, 55, 50, 50
3.5 standard array 75, 70, 65, 60, 50, 40

This method eliminates any chance. Rather the attribute stats would entirely be by choice. It does remove very low scores, but also eliminates scores above 75. The number of combinations that these numbers can be arranged is where the variety come into play.

6. Ability score cost method

Table: Ability Score Costs
Score Points
35 –4
40 –2
45 –1
50 0
55   1
60   2
65 3
70 5
75 7
80 10
85 13
90 17

Table: Ability Score Points

Campaign Type Points

Low Fantasy 10

Standard Fantasy 15

High Fantasy 20

Epic Fantasy 25

Low fantasy 70, 65, 60, 55, 50, 45

Standard fantasy 75, 65, 65, 60, 50, 50

High fantasy  75, 70, 65, 60, 60, 55

Epic fantasy 80, 75, 70, 65, 50, 50

This method is all about economy of cost. The player becomes a purchaser, and is buying scores with a limited amount of points. They can also sacrifice scores to raise up other scores much higher than normal. This method is preferred for minimax where certain stats become dump stats.

Conclusion
There are probably more methods than this, but these seem to be used the most often.

I like the random as a method of forcing the player to adjust their play style to whatever outcome they are dealt. It seems great for flexible players.

Standard array seems like the best method to be used for quick character creation.

The cost method seems to be the slowest, yet entirely gives a great deal of power to the player. It also seems like the method easiest for players to abuse.

What are your thoughts about stat generation?

Available for Pay-What-You-Want

Contributors will receive future deals, access to new products, and special stuff.

http://www.rpgnow.com/product/193127/5e-x-5-OGL-SRD

Final day to contribute to get Modern & Future

This is the final 24 hour notice that we will be offering free gifts to contributors over a certain amount to 5e x 5 OGL SRD (Fantasy). Midnight tomorrow 30th November, 2016 CST, I will remove the offer. If you've downloaded the SRD, tried it, and want to upgrade, you still have time.

Those gifts are mentioned on the RPG product page http://www.rpgnow.com/product/193127/5e-x-5-OGL-SRD

5e x 5 OGL SRD (Fantasy)

This is the Open Gaming License conversion of d20 5e into a d100 system. These are the Source Reference Documents which have very little formatting, no graphics, no pictures, and are basically just the text. They are meant to be used by developers or players/GMs that can get past the rudementary layout. We have added portions from the prior 3.5e, other OGL sources, and the PRD to help provide alternatives to sections either insufficiently provided in the 5e SRD or entirely left out.
These is a minimally formatted not illustrated set of five PDF ebooks. Text only.
Included in the 5e x 5 OGL SRD PWYW are:
5e x 5 Characters PDF 224p
5e x 5 Spells PDF 231p
5e x 5 Equipment and Treasures PDF 158p
5e x 5 Combat and Conditions PDF 55p
5e x 5 Monsters PDF 408p

The two major gifts among many levels are:

1) 5e x 5 Modern (early access)

Prior and current contributors "Fighter in the Here and Now contributor" and up to the deadline will gain early access to 5e x 5 Modern , any future formatted versions. Also formatted versions of 5e x 5 Fantasy such as the two column version of 5e x 5 Spells which is a free additional gift to contributors which will be placed at $1 price in the future.

Already included are 5e x 5 Modern Equipment 66pg and 5e x 5 Modern Characters (19 Backgrounds) 18pg. Coming next is 5e x 5 Psionics.

Don't just use a bow or crossbow to fight that zombie or orc. Pull out a .45 caliber pistol, or heft a .50 caliber assault rifle, machine gun, shotgun, or missile launcher. Toss grenades! Bring cellphones, computers, smartphones, and laptops to your campaign. Modern living costs, occupation salaries, and entertainment costs as well using the Cost DC system (US$ equivalents chart shown, though any monitary chart can be used). Psionics will bring telepathic powers to your gaming which is somewhat similar to spells.

2) 5e x 5 Future (early access)

Already included are 5e x 5 Future Equipment 77pg, 5e x 5, Future Characters (8 Backgrounds and Mutations (traits & flaws)) 35pg, 5e x 5 Future Robots 47pg, and 5e x 5, and Future Cybernetics 28pg. Coming next is 5e x 5 Mecha.

Bring lasers, rail guns, plasma guns, space suits, cryonic rifles, disintegrators, sonic beams, and beam swords (lightsaber) to your d100 campaigns. Build and fight robots. Supplement your injuries and natural abilities with futuristic cybernetics. Mutations give your characters superhuman-like powers and limits. Mecha will let you pilot massive power robots equiped with missiles, lasers, and blades to fight fantasy monsters, other robots, or alien invaders.

Unannounced gift additions

In addition, Sunday I sent out invites for contributors of 5e x 5 to receive a better layout version of 5e x 5 Spells (122 pages) which is formated in a more compact two-column version. This is free unannounced gift for contributors, and this version will sold for $1 each book to non-contributors in the near future. It will be part of the 4-book $1 ea line of 5e x 5 core books aimed at making things easier for consumers rather than primarily developers, like the OGL SRD. 5e x 5 Monsters (256 pages) two-column is finished and will be next. All four consumer versions of the books will be included with contributors that qualify for the Modern or Future books. In the more distant future, two-column versions of Characters and Equipment and Treasures is planned as well.

Thanks to those that contributed

If you haven't yet contributed, you can still contribute in these last 24 hours. December 1st or 2nd, I will send out access links for Future (set), Modern (set), 5e x 5 Spells (two-column), and 5e x 5 Monsters (two-column) for contributors. I'll make sure that those that contribute get their access.

5e x 5 Future and 5e x 5 Modern will not be offered until sometime next year to non-contributors. I'm trying to convert and add the pieces to them regularly and often. Since Nov 2nd, I've added what you've see above listed.

Thank you,

Ken

Verbs

This post will set up the actual creation of the verbs. First I list the 55 Swadesh verbs. Then I go back to the 2nd post and take all of the nouns and try to match them with whatever verb that I might relate the fairy word with. 

I'm doing this for two main reasons and one good possible result.

1. I want to see how the words look near the verbs, to see how they will sound. I forgot many of these nouns that I made up several months ago. This reduces the brain strain to try analyzing sufficiency of the sounds.
2. I want to see if any of the words might contain a root word, pattern, common sound, or something I can reuse in order to quicken creation.
3. A side effect of doing this might be creating a set of sounds that is more unified and consistent.

Total Words in Fairy Language

To the 139 words that we made in the two prior posts, we have now added 0 important words, which brings our total Fairy words to 139 important basic Fairy words.

The next post I need to add the actual verbs.

Aioskoru campaign region: Ekouinmanus Kapos progress part 2

Aioskoru Campaign Region update
Aioskoru campaign region: Ekouinmanus Kapos progress part 1
Aioskoru campaign region: Ekouinmanus Kapos progress part 2

Here is an update on progress

Finished so far are:

1. A set of random creation charts to help make small outposts, camps, and villages. Also I have a random name chart using terms from both common and goblin languages.
2. 1 city map and some overall details, 
3. 1 adventure map with details for playing with the centaurs or with the goblins
4. 1 capital region area map with broad details 
5. A list of adventure seeds
6. Encounter chart
7. 2 Goblin City Maps
8. Capital city Map
9. Temperature and % rainfall

My plans to complete:

• Encounter map is partially complete
• Goblin summary details still need to be entered similar to the centaur summary details which are already completed.
• A semi realistic area map for the paid version, which is better than the sample shown above.
• Maybe a hex map for the paid version. I tried a few things with hex but am not satisfied yet.
• Maybe a set of generic NPCs. I have # of NPCs per city by type charted and completed.
• Plants, herbs, minerals, raw material, and gems.

5e x 5 OGL SRD

These is a minimally formatted not illustrated set of five PDF ebooks. Text only.

We are fans of d100 games.

However, there is basically only one major Open Gaming License (OGL) d100 game that is available to help create new d100 games.

So, what is the easiest way to turn 5e into a d100 stat/skill game? Multiply it by five.
Hence, this converted system we call 5e x 5.

We do preserve the combat damage and hitpoint system - which is more compatible with the other d100 systems.

Having converted the attributes, skills, and saves with the remaining time until Oct 31 deadline we added a few more OGL sources to help expand this d100 conversion. It has some PRD, 3.5e SRD, and a few other OGL sources converted to d100 mixed in.

Included are:
5e x 5 Characters PDF 224p
5e x 5 Spells PDF 231p
5e x 5 Equipment and Treasures PDF 158p
5e x 5 Combat and Conditions PDF 55p
5e x 5 Monsters PDF 408p


If you like our efforts and want to seem more conversions to d100, please contribute via Pay What You Want (PWYW) or consider one of our other RPGNow products available now listed below.

Fantasy Constructed Languages Part 5: Parts of speech - why, pronouns, conjunctions

Other fantasy language posts
Creating a fantasy languageElfin and Orcish amount of words so far

Fantasy Constructed Languages Part 2: Parts of speech - nouns
Fantasy Constructed Languages Part 3: Parts of speech - adjectives
Fantasy Constructed Languages Part 4: Parts of speech - articles, quantifiers, prepositions, questions
Fantasy Constructed Languages Part 5: Parts of speech - why, pronouns, conjunctions,

Why

I forgot to add 'why' to the list of the question words. So I will begin with it. Why mainly works with verbs, which I will add in the next few posts. This is because most 'why' questions are concerned with actions, events, and occurrences rather than adjectives - as in 'why is the sky blue?'.

'Why' will be what reason.

1. Why        ara-nithyaz

To get the final word for why I constructed it using this method. I create the word for 'reason'.

For reason I want to combine two words - heart and head - since reasons will be either emotionally from the heart, or mentally from the head.

Finding the two words that I wrote in the first post, I then deconstruct them and create further meaning to the syllables.
head       yaz
heart        nith

1. I'll say that yaz means brain or thought
2. Nith will mean emotion or feelings
3. Reason           nithyaz   

Pronouns

For pronouns I want to something a little interesting. I want there to be no word for 'I'. In fact, I want singular 'you', 'it', 'he', 'she', and the neutral pronoun 'one' to be outside of collective communities.. Fairies will be very communal and will not have the concept of living alone, and will use 'We' for 'our collective' the first person pronoun instead. Then they will speak of 2nd person 'you all' to refer to another collective. And 'They' for a third person collective. Fairy language will be the celestial language of angels as well. There is one word that will mean 'a person outside of collective community' regardless of the plurality or point of view of the speaker.

Opposing the Fairy language, I will make a corrupt language where there is no concept of 'we' and they only use 'I', 'you (singular)', 'he/she/it'. A large separation of individuals. This will be the demonic and devil language.

1. we w/ you (inc)                         eng
2. you, you all, yall                        esh
3. they                                          zu
4. Outside of any collective community: you (singular), he/she/it, one               tsod

So a simple sentence might be 'we are cold' which is nawin fe eng.

I'm not going to differentiate pronouns used in different parts of the sentence, except by where they are placed in the sentence.

Example. English differentiate he, him, his. In Fairy it'll be just tsod for all three, but where tsod is placed will determine wheither it is he, him, his, she, her, it, or one.

Conjunctions

1. and                                         li
2. or                                           we
3. if                                            de
4. because (the reason being)      nithyaz osh fe 

For example, the description 'wide and thick' would be zan li dan.

I will list verbs in the next post. I may separate the conjugation of verbs and verb use in separate posts.
