Chinese Player's Handbook

Mindcrime · Oct 30, 2002

Holy crap, I found a tiny store in an underground "mall" in Taipei that sells Chinese language editions of the PHB, DMG and MM.

I couldn't resist and had to buy one. It's....really surreal

So, is it subtitled or dubbed?

Mindcrime · Oct 30, 2002

LOL

Both. It comes with a robotic James Wong who does the dub.

COOL!!!!! I'm currently studying Chinese. I would love to have a copy of the Chinese players handbook! It certainly beat the stupid things we have to read in class. One question, is it traditional Chinese or simplified Chinese?

Mindcrime · Oct 31, 2002

It's traditional Chinese. I'll see if I can find contact information for ordering the book - if I can't find anything, we can, er, work something out.

I didn't think that WotC did anything in the Japan/China/Korea/India region. Who's the publisher?

Third Wave, which is owned by Acer.

That web site is for the guys who did the translation, I think.

No, Malaysian before we migrated to sunny Austria, the Land Down Under.

Crossing the Alps with our baggage train of elephants was a downright chore, let me tell you.

Speaking of, I will be back in Malaysia for the first time in ~16 years, from next week! Fun things to do and see await me, I am sure. Sampling exotic foodstuffs... getting a fierce case of the trots... dodging bombs... that's the life!
