New IFAQ and PDC Pointy-Talky! (Patreon)

My latest IFAQ answers two questions related to language: How did we develop the names of the overlords, and how would I handle alignment languages?

In the article, I mention the idea of pointy-talkies -- cards designed to help soldiers, emergency service providers, and people in similar roles communicate with people who don't share a language with them. When I was developing Phoenix: Dawn Command we thought that Phoenixes should DEFINITELY have a pointy-talkie, so they could quickly ascertain the nature of a threat. If you look below, the upper right quadrant identifies the origin of the threat: Undead? Chanters? Fallen Folk? Puppies? The lower right establishes the nature of the threat (Fire? Haunting? Swords?) The lower left quadrant lets you choose the scope of the threat (One? A few? A lot?) and adds elements (It's a book!) The upper left reflects the six schools of the Phoenixes themselves, though it can also reflect a type of challenge (Talking? Fighting? Sneaking?) I figured I'd share it here for funsies. 

Thank you again for your support, and for keeping the blog going!
