[QUOTE="Guillaume, post: 1767335, member: 8052"] The shop that Gez mentionned is Le Valet d'Coeur, one (if not the best) FLGS in Montreal. You will find their home page at this address : [url="http://www.levalet.com"]www.levalet.com[/url]. To order the three core rule books, you can do so online by following these steps : [list=1] [*]Go to the the [url="http://www.levalet.com/FRACAT/TSRFR.HTM"]French D&D section[/url]. [*]Select the books you want to order. Here are the translation of the titles with the catalog numbers so you can understand what you are ordering : [/list] [indent] [list] [*]DF/17524 Manuel des joueurs version 3.5 = Player's Handbook 3.5 edition [*]DF/17752 Guide du Maître version 3.5 = Dungeon Master Guide 3.5 edition [*]DF/Manuel des monstres version 3.5 = Monster Manuel 3.5 edition. [/list] [/indent] [list=1] [*]Click on the cash register (À la caisse) in the upper left corner. Then under the title, you should find a link to get the order form in English. [/list]If you live in the US, you can also order by phone (they have English speaking clerks) by calling : 1-888-499-5389 (Canada & US only). To [url="http://www.levalet.com/WELCOME.HTM#CONTACT"]see their opening hours and other telephone numbers.[/url] Their competitor in Montreal, la Librairie Donjon, used to have an online store at [url="http://www.cyberdungeon.com"]www.cyberdungeon.com.[/url] Unfortunately, they are closing down their online operations to concentrate on their FLGS business. You can also try the website of la boutique [url="http:%5C%5Cwww.imaginaire.com"]L'Imaginaire[/url] in Québec City. For some reason tonight, however, their site was incredibly slow. I wasn't able to get you the links to the D&D books. :( Remember that all prices are in Canadian Dollar, so that comes up to about : 1 $CDN = 0.77 $US. I would like to mention that the original translations (3.0) were done in house by WoTC France, IIRC. Since then, Spellbooks, which is owned by [url="http://http:%5C%5Cwww.asmodee.com"]Asmodee[/url], the French gaming publisher has been doing the translation work. They have also translated the SRD (or DRS in French for Document de référence du système). It is available for free on their website. The DRS is divided into four zipped files. If you fuse the four zipped files, you will get the same file structure as the WoTC SRD. [url="http://www.asmodee.com/download/drs-1--personnage-_1.zip"]Personnages[/url], will get you everything relating to caracter creation. [url="http://www.asmodee.com/download/drs-2--aventure-.zip"]Aventure[/url], will get you rules of combat and adventuring.

[url="http://www.asmodee.com/download/drs-4--monstres-.zip"]Monstres[/url], is everything about monsters. About Gez's comment on the translation, it is true that some of the terminology chosen is wonky sometimes. However, it's not as if it is using it's own syntax and grammar and most of the wording is appropriate. It is mostly with technical terms that it can get weird. Keeping that in mind, if this helps you learn our language, great ! :) Good luck, [/QUOTE]
