[QUOTE="Urriak, post: 7637735, member: 6996219"] China has burned some RPG books, but it's not some blanket policy but instead mostly dependent on the whims of individual censors (which is it's own sort of problem). China is totally fine dealing with mysticism, fantasy, and violence, the bigger problem they have is [I]foreign [/I]mysticism-fantasy-violence. Video games and films made in China deal with these things and censors mostly don't care, it's when the influence originated from outside China that the censors close in. For that reason, D&D probably won't be accepted in China if it is just a straight translation. However, the chance of it being successful will skyrocket if Wizards partners with a local Chinese company and gives them license to change replace the Chinese-controversial content with more local fantasy content. I'm not sure why people are debating the European languages, those are not impossibly hard to translate. And countries like Spain, France and Germany have their own history with tabletop RPGs so D&D is not some completely novel concept there. [/QUOTE]
