I have no idea how highly the community thinks of this guy, but we can't help but note his success; Slashdot is currently in the process of accumulating interview questions to throw at him. For those not in the know, Peterson is responsible for the conlangs in Game of Thrones and some other recent fantasy and sf TV things where the original authors didn't bother coming up with whole languages themselves.

Also apparently he has a book or something? Conlangery likes it, but what do we think?

EDIT: Blah! Names.

quoting Jipí, Transition Metal, Marburg, Germany:

Tell me about it. US$60 games on Steam cost C$80! Though, looking at the current exchange rate... Wow. The Canadian dollar is only worth 70 American cents?? So this 30% price hike is actually congruent with the exchange rate... damn. Ridiculous bullshit.
