This thread is intended to be a continuation of the great work of  @Ian Plätschisch as he first created 99.9% of this list of ongoing projects back in July 2018 on Old Witt. It is intended to also be as broad-based as possible so please feel free to contribute additional items as they are developed or to update their status here.

Qet Paßa [What's Happening] in Talossa!

The easiest way to get involved is probably to join the Zouaves of the Royal Bodyguard, which will recognize your achievements in pretty much anything on this list.

Where possible I have updated the user links.
If any of the programs have active websites then I would be happy to add those as well.
Please, please do not forget to update where possible if you have something to add.

@Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial Do you have a good Talossan translation of "What's Happening"?

Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP

Editing posts is my thing. My bad.
Feel free to PM me if you have a Glheþ translation request!

That would be Qet Paßa.

You have offered a bunch of times to translate things, since I know you love the language and want to help promote it. I wonder if you would be willing to translate official government announcements as a general policy? If you're willing to flex those muscles every month or so, there doesn't seem to be any reason why we're not doing it. Let people see that we care enough about our national treasure to actually use it sometimes! We should give them some models for their own learning. What do you think?

That's great!  It's not like most government matters are time sensitive, so your schedule shouldn't pose a problem to any government with the sense to embrace your skill and enthusiasm.  Thank you so much for your willingness :)

Maybe I should run another D&D game? I had fun with the last one, and it seemed like the other players did too.

If you record it, if that is possible, then we might even be able to put it up on the twitch channel and Fora Talossa or a revived Talossan Broadcasting Company.

Well, it's played online, so I don't see any reason why I couldn't record it. I let all these subscriptions to my fancy online D&D apps go dormant once the pandemic receded enough for my game here at home to return to in person, but I can figure out some alternatives without too much trouble.
