OOC 216: Stump the Chumps - Creole Cookin'

June 19, 2012

You've clamored for its return.  Can you Stump the Chumps?
An old favorite from the audio days, we put our various fields of expertise on the line to answer your gaming questions.  And if we can't answer it, we'll find someone who can!
Listener Chad takes the first swing:  Hey, Language Guy (Scott)! You gave a good answer previously about how to invent a whole new language. What about guidelines for creating a patois or pidgin? How might English syntax change in an isolated or uneducated community? And separately, got any good rules of thumb for inventing a few words of credible slang for a sci-fi (or any) setting to add color.
We want to hear your questions!  Leave them in the comments below, or on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/PulpGamer), Twitter (https://twitter.com/PulpGamer), or Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/pulpgamer), and we'll do our best to answer them in a future episode!
