K'oyacyi, Ray!
You know how it is with most arts: you're never really done learning.
Welcome aboard, the resources available here are superior and the community extra helpful.
I've tried to use the Lingojam v1 and v2 translators and they are... more convenient than accurate. There is also a Coruscant Translator that was quite popular with role-players but also tended to swerve rather dramatically away from what rules we do know about Mando'a vocabulary. It's always possib...
Exploring the available concepts I find many single words that might contribute to the description of the sun: petir = center nau - light tranyc - sunny hettir - burn tracyn - fire tracinya - flame kar'ta - heart yaim - home kar - star tolase - system This gives us room to build in many directions. ...
In the Combine galaxy, the yellow sun that supports the Mandalore system is called "Trnar" and I have absolutely no idea why. My research indicates no instance of that name appearing anywhere in canon or Expanded Universe lore. In fact, Google tries to auto-correct this name to "trainer", which is a...
I don't know how long ago that was, but they've added a lot of new features. Player-versus-environment has a been a thing for quite a while, but they recently improved the AI that controls creatures and bandits. In another week or so they are making the AI actively aggressive, so weak creatures run ...
https://www.swcombine.com The Star Wars Combine began back in the mid-90s as a forum-based roleplaying group "Combine Commander" or CCOM, which evolved into a persistent real-time simulation collectively referred to as "Darkness" which was launched in 1998. It is described as a real-time massively ...
I also imagine that it may have been the "Mando serpent" although I'm very much interested in this circle of life connection. That seems to be the earliest example of Taung insignia associated specifically with the Crusaders... "Joraliikade"? I agree that the next progression might be the same circl...
I've been thinking about this myself. I didn't know about the Ani'la Akaan reference in canon materials. I guess that would directly translate as "total war"? I started by establishing what makes a crusade different from any other conventional war: religion. The root of our modern word, it seems, co...
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51687181661_e8af4c97ab_o.jpg 43 years ago today, on what Wookiees celebrate as Life Day, the Star Wars Holiday Special aired and introduced the world to Boba Fett. I'm not sure how that could be interpreted in-universe but it seems like it should be an important ...
So my roleplaying group needs a term for an animal trainer. Since Boba was introduced in that nightmare that we know as the Holiday Special, it's been clear that Mandalorians are definitely keen on taming animals for use as mounts and probably also war beasts. The series The Mandalorian supports thi...
Phonetic alphabets are common IRL due to the necessity of clarifying oneself over radio, where words might need to be spelled out in a way that is clear to the listener when signals are being garbled by weather, distance or jamming. The same alphabets are convenient for organizing things. It is not ...
