I have to agree with this. I've never been able to create a well-formed
conlang without asking myself who was going to speak it, where would they
live, and so on. Every time I try to detach conlang from conculture I get
this feeling that my work has, in a sense, no base, and I end up creating
a conculture, perhaps developing more than the conlang itself.

To Laurie:
Of course some of us have started as RPGers, or at least have gone down
that road sometime (I'm one of the latter), but I daresay most RPGers don't
fell a special curiosity about conlangs. (The opposite would be nice.)

As for a CONCULTURE: subject tag, I'd be OK with it, but it's quite
probable
that most of us will make some concultural statement in otherwise
completely
"pure" messages, so... where'd the limit be?
