02-08-04, 12:56 PM I'll post this once more. If no one knows on here, then I guess I'm not gonna get an answer short of Greenwood himself.

Do the letters of Thorass correspond directly to the English letters? My guess would be yes, but it is so confusing. In the 2nd edition of "a grand tour", the language was much different. It seems like they shifted the letters over one place in a lot of cases, took out some of them, invented new ones....arrrgggg. For someone who memorized the letters to make writing them faster, this kinda thing gets a little irritating. Not to mention that the believability of FR took a severe hit with that one. Why didn't they just add an english guide? Anyway...enough ranting. I would really like to know this one, because if I learn the letters again I wanna know that it is the way the designers intended.

Note to designers(if you are listening):Add on to FR, but don't change it!

Try The official "Ask The Core Rules and Supplement Authors" thread.
