And, Eric... STOP TROLLING. Don't forget all the compromising pix I've got of you.

My apologies. I failed the "alphebetization" test at library school, you see. It's all because of the Dvorak keyboard I was given as a child.

supah- congrats to you. will we get an english sampler here?

I think not, Clay. He said something about French versions only being printed earlier in the thread.

If this wasn't a joke and you actually use a Dvorak keyboard, you will from now one get a +10 charisma, wisdom and diplomacy bonus when talking with Psionicist.

Edit: In honor of the thread, I am now listening to Jean Michel Jarre - Magnetic Fields part 3

The anthology is centered on Celtic myths and mythology. And yeah, it's in French only. That's my only excuse for "advertising" it here: there won't be any member able to read it (or precious few), so I can just blab happily about the cover (that everyone can appreciate). It is Zéphyr d'Elph's, whose work I first saw featured in the French Dragon Magazine (still alive as d20 Magazine).

And, Eric... STOP TROLLING. Don't forget all the compromising pix I've got of you.

Celtic mythology, eh? That's right up my alley, actually. Also, I do read some French, though probably not good enough to comprehend everything written. I'd love to get my hands on a copy of this book if I can only find out how to get near one. I'll figure a way. Yes, I shall...

By the way, where is the Francophone equivalent of EN World?

Alphabetical, it is a conspiracy I tell you, nothing but letter prejudice!!!!!!!

It reminds me of when I was a child and you would be allowed to leave the classroom only one by one in alphabetical order (it was a way to take the register).

Will there be an English version?

I wish! But no. The English-speaking market is already saturated. Plus, US publishers tend to dismiss everything written in French as too intellectual/pretentious. This opinion, that stands true in too many cases, does not really in the SF&F field.

And, yes, that is a very cool cover.

SF&F publishers in France are making more and more efforts in that respect. Here is the cover of the anthology in which my favorite short story was published:

Being happy when other people are happy is not a very piraty thing, Mr. PegLeg Kitty. I hope I can see you again at some con or another; you still owe me a Paranoia game.

Gary encouraged me to come at the Milwaukee Gamefest next year; I may go there instead or in addition to Gen Con. Above all if Margaret goes too: not only because she's a very sweet lady but also because she's always travelling with the friendliest bunch of people you can find. I still owe them a lot of all the fun I had during my very first con.

I use a French keyboard myself, so we're both key-dorks. (But how did you become an Epic Loremaster starting on a Dvorak??)
