Re: Ghosts of Gauntcliff: OOC
Ok I sent a translation to Adam of Juergin's Lamordian. Used a translator from google.

If that was an English-German translator, it's a BAD one. o_o Intelligible, but so, so horrible.

Re: Ghosts of Gauntcliff: OOC
I could fake out/make out what Tarlyn's PC was saying without translation. There were enough familiar words, and I had full context. I don't actually read German, though.Rock wrote:If that was an English-German translator, it's a BAD one. o_o Intelligible, but so, so horrible.
Lamordian isn't really German, of course.

Re: Ghosts of Gauntcliff: OOC
I always pictured Lamordia as being something like Switzerland. So they speak Swiss...that's a real language, right??ewancummins wrote:I could fake out/make out what Tarlyn's PC was saying without translation.

For Dorgio I've been treating Luktar as if it's close to Hungarian. I may have picked that up from one of the Gazetteers.

Re: Ghosts of Gauntcliff: OOC
Speaking of language, long-time players might notice Dorgio's syntax is getting less wonky. I'm trying to simulate how his Mordentish would change after two years of living in Pont. But in stressful situations, I am thinking his speech patterns might be coming back, yes?

Re: Ghosts of Gauntcliff: OOC
Yes, Brock, that would be nice...
As for 'Swiss', I'm afraid you're not that lucky to have a swiss languange, but you can pick from four, say:
French, German, Italian, Romanche(English sp?)
There may be differences between the swiss version of the first three languages and the way they're spoken in their home countries, btw.
As would be expected, anyway.

I know, it was just a bit of teasing on my part for those of you from the EU.

Re: Ghosts of Gauntcliff: OOC
ah =)
sorry for having missed the joke then... sometimes I have that, I take things too seriously and miss obvious plays.

Re: Ghosts of Gauntcliff: OOC
Question before I post, did Everline take Thom up on his offer for the travelogue or is she doing it for her normal group?

Re: Ghosts of Gauntcliff: OOC
I'm going to hold off a scene shift for a while. I'd like to let you guys RP more.

Has Benn heard these rumors about Denys prior to now?
"Of course," Benn mutters, "It would be a damned shame if we ever knew what the hell was actually going on."

Nope, Benn hasn't heard anything in particular that would cast Denys Sancerre's past in a 'dubious' light.

Finely I posted. Thom has horrible scars on the back of head and neck, all which take time and care to hide successfully.
