I'd join too. I've been distracted lately by other projects, but I'd
guess that fully a half of the material that I have related to my
conlangs is actually conculture and non-linguistic. I intend to include
it at my web pages as I get suitable descriptions written and drawn. But
I usually don't get to talk about it on conlang. There have been some
nicely creative digressions, but sometimes I wonder if we (the
digressors) would feel better if we had a more appropriate list for it.

I don't see why the proposed conculture list would have to only draw
from the population of conlang-L. We probably will get a bunch of RPGers
as word gets out. Heck, that's where I started. I like to think we might
uncover a bunch of nascent conlangers.
