Hi all, specially to spanish people, more specifically people from BCN.
I´m a spanish guy who plays D&D mixing Spanish and English (like most here). i use this rare lenguage too. I'm proud of it

We game mostly in Swedish, though all game terms and names are left untranslated. We tend to use English for conversations, since it's very hard to say things like "Flee, foolish mortals, lest you feel the power of my wrath!" in Swedish while keeping a straight face.

My group in Denmark also a mixture of English and Danish. All technical stuff like skillpoints, spell names, weapons, other equipment, name of places etc is all in English.....
Actually we just fill in the words between these with our native language. We actually only uses real Danish sentences when describing what and how we do things, like explaining movement, actions and in-character conversations.

We play in Swedish, but dont care about renaming the rules.

When playing back home, we mix english and french, going from one to the other rather hap-hazardly. I'm not sure why, but I find that fantasy sounds painfully cheezy in french. "boule de feu" just doesn't cut it.

German is the language we use, with mostly technical terms (spell names, game descriptors like feat, AoO and so on) mixed in in english. Rarely something is read in english (if a module is used), when the reader is too lazy or incapable (or the part read just doesn't translate well) to simultaneously translate it into german!

"Wench! It's aboot time ya got me another frickin' beer, eh?"
