Of course, the daily theme is just the bare bones, and it is the delightful duty of each participating conlanger to put some meat on the bones by employing her glossopoietic creativity.

Add colour to your life, with today's ConWorkShop theme: Things that are or can be yellow. One thing that can be yellow is the stock market. When prices fall, the stock market turns yellow, like nature in the dry season. And when prices go up, the stock market turns green, like nature when the rains… Continue reading Lexember 4 (2024)

And like magic, a new theme appears from ConWorkShop: Words that appear on Magic: The Gathering cards.
