Shiny! I do hope that I won’t spend the next five days looking up Esperanto instead of your drawings, now…

What is it with Esperanto, anyways?
It always struck me as having been intended to unite Humanity, but ended up just creating one more division.

As far as I’m concerned, Esperanto is a neat, expressive toy with lots of fiddly bits. Y’know, like RPGs.

What, Kirk? Esperanto is fascinating stuff; I’ve lost days and days toying with it.
John, that requires (a) more fluency than I have and (b) other players who are willing. It does make me wonder if I could recruit players at the local Esperantists club, though!

tout à tout vient à parler
esperanto, et à ce jour l’espoir est née, esperanto…
