D&D books in languages other than English: any advice on where to find them, without traveling abroad? In particular, I'm looking for a German version of the 4th Edition Player's Handbook.

(I'm studying German, and I need more reading material to practice with, so I figured I'd look for a German copy of the book I find myself reading perhaps the most. It worked for Emil Krebs, except he used the New Testament.)

Thanks in advance!

Look at amazon.de ? I don't know if they ship books oversea (they do for amazon US to Europe)

Maybe you can find it at amazon.com

Dragonworld seems to be willing so ship anywhere in the world... at least that's what I was able to determine with my extremely broken German...

Hallo doctorhook,

na da kann ich dir glaube ich ja helfen.

Hi doctorhook,

i think i can help you getting some german books.

As Aloïsius mentioned amazon.de is shipping overseas for 14€ and it takes 9-14 days until you get the package. So better grab more then one book. But beware - they are not cheap. The PHB is at 34,95€. For 47€ you get all 3 core books in english here in germany... totally absurd pricing...
There are only the 3 core books which got translated and there will be no more translations from the company who did them as they chose not to renew their licence.

Hope i could help.

D&D is published in french by Play Factory : D&D4 (DD4) : Dungeons & Dragons, la 4ème Edition française (Donjons et Dragons)

I guess you can find it on Amazon, but I am not sure.

This is really great idea for brushing up your language skills. I have been trying to track down the 3.5 or 4.0 Players handbook in Arabic if anyone knows where I can get it. I am so tired of reading "Ali and the Camel".

Agreed! Although having looked up the German version of this book on both Amazon.de and eBay.de, I can tell you it probably won't be a cheap proposition. (34,95 Euros? That's more than twice what I paid for my English-language copy from Amazon.ca.)

My wife checked online in Chinese and couldn't find it. (She speaks/reads Chinese, I don't.)

Chinese is coming soon. We have a new company managing the translations.
