[QUOTE="Azizar, post: 1450694, member: 9473"] [b]D&D in Dutch[/b] The way we play D&D is a kind of Anglo-dutch. A lot of words in english can be perfectly translated to Dutch. But the use of english in our D&D games seem to fit the mood of fantasy gaming better than Dutch. For example in 'perfect' dutch. De vechter met de maliencolder valt de aardmannen aan met zijn magisch flammend zwaard, terwijl de tovernaar een vuurbal werpt op de trol. In english The Fighter with the chainmail attacks the orcs with his magic flaming sword, while the wizard casts a fireball at the troll. In Anglo-dutch De fighter met de chainmail valt de orks aan met zijn magic flaming sword, terwijl de wizard een fireball cast op de trol. :D But hey, we are famous for our ability to incorporate words from other languages. A lot of my friends did not know that chainmail was translated to maliencolder in dutch. They knew what a chainmail was.....but not a maliencolder. :D [/QUOTE]
