Message: <blockquote data-quote="Perun" data-source="post: 261454" data-attributes="member: 6037">1.) Where do you live? (Country, community, etc. at whatever level of disclosure you feel comfortable.)City of Split (a bit less than 200,000 souls), in the Dalmatia region of Croatia.2.) What is the primary language in your area? (...and is it a notably different dialect than its original?)The Official language in Croatia is Croatian (doh!), but we speak a local dialect, moderately heavy influenced by Italian language.3.) What languages do you speak? (...and dialect if appropriate, please)Well, Croatian, af course. I'm  fairly fluent in English (fluent enough to translate a couple of books for a minor publisher, anyways). I heavily prefer British English. I have a passive knowledge of Italian (I can understand most of what is said, but I have difficulties when trying to speak anything more complicated than "My name is..." <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />4.) At what level of competency? (...if other than your primary language.)See above. 5.) What language do you use at the gaming table? (...or in online games?)We used to play in English for a couple of years, but we use Croatian now, with English gaming expressions (e.g. kastat spelove, vizardi, elfovi, dvorfovi, etc.)6.) In what language are the gaming materials you use? (...and is it the language you prefer to use for gaming?)There are no Croatian translations of the D&D products. We use books in English exclusively (obtainedy mainsly through Amazon.com -- cheaper and more customer friendly than the store in Zagreb, Croatian capital). Although one of our players did get a DMG in Italian, but that was back in 2E.7.) How well serviced is the area in which you live in regard to gaming materials? (Miles/Kilometers to the nearest game store, what materials do they carry, etc.)The nearest game store is about 350 kilometres away, in Zagreb. They are the official distributors for WotC materials in Croatia, so they have most of their products.</blockquote>
