Be careful, you are beeing assimilated
The Quebec will restart the Darksun campaign setting and put it back on the map, HURRAY QUEBEC !
Far out! Look it out...
Sill frogs everywhere!
Head for the hills!
It is kind of weird, isn't it? 4 people from Quebec, and I don't remember seeing anyone from english Canada. Also, there aren't that many people here in the first place, or at least, not that many who post as often as us... Hmm... We'd need an anthropologist to figure this one out... ;)
As for Cyrus's political question, Quebec, as in all of those living in Quebec, never wanted to seperate from canada, except in the early 90s, right before the '95 50/50 referendum on the question. Right now, surveys on are only about 40% in favor of separation. However, French Canadians living in Quebec (which represents about 85% of its population) have been majoritarily in favor of separation (called sovereignty here) ever since the 80s, with as many as 70% of them in favor of it around '92.
Heh. Weird talking about that here! ;) Well, that's for your crash course in Quebec politics and separatism!

We can therefore to envision a worthy translation of this name... in French!
What does that mean?!
All joking aside, I am originally from the great state of Michigan and I kind of like Canada.
I spent three and a half overly long years on K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base just outside of Marquette in the Upper Pininsula. I'll give proper amounts of respect to any group of people that can put up with that kind of weather. What I most remember were all the bumber stickers around Christmas time that read "Ho, Ho, Ho . . . Aye".
(though I don't live in Quebec. I'm an Acadian)

I guess some people are lucky and others are not. I spent 2 years in San Diego and 4 in Florida while I was in the Navy.

Exactly... My humble excuses to people who don't speak french... and thanks for the translation Grummore.
Speaking about translation of DS 3.5... that's an idea...why not? It could enlarge the audience of Athas.org... and it seems that's a lot of people here are able to do this...
PS And I'm anthropologist...

lol! I was 7 when I moved there. Step-mother was in the AF. I made a solemn vow never to join any branch of the military.
Ha! Half of my family talks like that!

Always told myself I would join the Air Force if I ever joined the military, so to me that's the *best* branch.
Almost joined the Army Reserves last year, then thought better of it once I heard rumors of the war.

I need to learn French, right after I learn Norwegian like I promised Jon, heh.
You know, with all these people coming from Quebec, and those who wish to join our glorious status who even number themselves, and all that talk of Quebec people ruling, I had an idea with an Athasian feel ;)
Now, let us use our mighty powers of bilinguilism, left-winged politics and alcohol tolerance against the degenarate races of the red-white-and-blue age! I call for the Cleansing Wars! Let us enter a New and Glorious Age... the BLUE Age!!! :D
We should be the Champions of Quebec!
Shei-Nad, First Champion of Quebec, War-bringer and the American Annihilator. I'll american-history-class your youth to death!
Grummore, Second Champion of Quebec, the English Canada Exterminator. He'll continue Trudeau's work by shoving french down their throats until they can't breath anymore!
Jihun-Nish, Third Champion of Quebec, the Butcher of the British, will finally rid us of the Monarchy and her posh subjects by overexposing them to crown scandals!
Pennarin, Fourth Champion of Quebec, the French Flamer, will spell the doom of the maudits francais, using Quebec French, not France French!
Gab, Fifth Champion of Quebec, the Acadian Assimilator, who instead of cleansing his kindred, will bring them into the fold of Quebec!
Cyrus, Sixth Champion of Quebec, the Ravager of Russians, because his american origins give him some familiarity with fighting those... :p
NytCrwlr, Seventh Champion of Quebec, the Other Countries Ostraciser, because I'm running out of ideas, and since he is head of the monsters conversions here, he knows how to find unnumbered kinds of abominations ;)
Join the Cleansing Wars! Let us return usher in the Blue Age!
:D
Ok, now lets see how long my post will last... ;)
-The Quebec French speaker, a weapon which strips its victim of every language except Quebec French
-The Canadian wood bat, a simple (but effective) club. You can beat people with it. Nothing else. But it works.
-The Scourge of Jon, a mighty sword which makes its wielder immune to lightning bolts.

LOL, nevermind, I guess I am a champion.
I will also eradicated all chimps and chimp-like humans, just to make sure for future sakes that we don't have another chimp-like president.
I'll also start the cleansing wars on the fundies, who feel the need to shove their religion, that they created, of a false and imaginary friend god, down other people's throats.
Ooh! Don't forget the fools that can't do math and further run our economy into the ground by thinking that 1+1=5!
Wooooohoooo!
Good work Champions! Onwards towards the Blue Age!

What sort of French Canadian are you?!
And you call yourself a Champion of Quebec... Looks like we've got another case of Myron the Troll Scorcher.
I'm pretty sure its in Kilometres, and I do have the original Dark Sun box set in French I believe. I also have Valley of Dust and Fire (Vallée de feu et de cendre, litterally: Valley of Fire and Ash) in french. However, I'm not home right now. I'll check it later and post the answer if one of my fellow Champions doesn't beat me to it.

Beware, Oracle, lest ye incur the wrath of the Champions of Quebec...
And to prepare for that contingency:
I, Shei-Nad, War Bringer, First Champion of Quebec and American Annihilator, knight our female and acadian counterpart a Champion in her own. From this time forward, thou shall be known as:
Sonja, 8th Champion of Quebec, The Slayer of Scandinavians.
Arise to your Champion rank, sister in arms! Let none stand in our way!
But be warned, young champion, that your prey is dangerous, and their oracle weilds the power of the Lightning. But you shall not go into battle unarmed and unprepared.
Behold, for deep into the recesses of the Eastern Townships, I have wrought a work of great power in preperation for your task. Recieve now the Sacker, a sword of immense power. Aside from its extreme craftsmanship, the blade shall bestow upon its weilder these powers three:
1- All lightning bolts aimed at the weilder are immediately redirected on the closest English writings found, which are immeditely destroyed. The weilder is unharmed.
2- All creatures hit by an attack from this blade are instantly engulfed in a sack, hence its name :D. This sack can only be opened by uttering the sacred incantation: Vive le Québec libre!.
3- Additionnaly, all creatures that emerge from the magical sack are instantely loyal to the weilder of the Sacker, and will be unable to utter words in any other language save French.
Now go forth, and let none stand in the way of the Champions of Quebec!
The BLUE age shall be ushered in!
MOUAHAHAHAHAH!
*looks at the transformed Sonja* Btw, you do realize you just made my assassin sent after Grummore your champion? :D x2
*sees Sonja standing in the middle of a circle of "champions" with her new Artifact sword the Sacker, and remembers she has the Whirlwind Attack feat.* And Sonja, your pay just doubled - no make that tripled. :D x3
Hrumm...theatricals aside, would you like to play a DS game in the Qc area, since we're pretty much all from the province?
I havn't played D&D in years and all my DS experiences sucked!
I'm thinking a one-shot two-day session, we could even prepare charater sheets in advance and have them run throught the DM so we can be a little more advanced than first level and put to work those nice little feats from athas.org...
Finding out if its even possible is a first: time constraints, families and kids, horses!, location, jobs...
Qu'en pensez-vous tous?
2- All creatures hit by an attack from this blade are instantly engulfed in a sack, hence its name.

Ca serait super, mais c'est pas moi le DM! J'aimerais bien jouer dans Dark Sun un jour...
Au niveau des possibilités, je vis présentement à Disraeli, près de Thetford Mines, et j'enseigne, alors je suis disponible les fins de semaine, habituellement, et l'été, bien entendu. Je suis disposé a aller a peu près n'importe où, a part peu-être le saguenay ou l'abitibi :p, pour aller rejoindre les autres.
Voyons voir ce que les autres en pense, mais ça serait vraiment intéressant.
Btw, Je suis de Rivière-du-Loup. Présentement, je DM une game de Darksun depuis environ 1 an à raison de 1 session par semaine (une aux deux de temps en temps).
Effectivement, ça pourrait être vraiment cool que des vrais mordus de DS se retrouve pour une one-shot sessions!
Hmm, j'aimerais jouer avec vous, mais je suis toute isolée au N.-B.! :-O
Indeed, I volonteer Grummore to go and get you for our game... ;)
Avoue que ça te tente, Grummore, un petit aller-retour au Nouveau-Brunswick! :D

Also, I'll need to make sure he's not been bought by scandinavians or something...
However, Oracle, you shall soon find that when I knighted Sonja, I did so using the Sacker. After her emergence from the magical sack

Mostly, it's the same language with some word/expression typical to each country where it's spoken. Same as american english and british english. Just remember that not so long ago French was one of the most spoken language worldwide(# of contries not # of people).

you could all see that my english is very rusty, and I will speack french now :
plus sérieusement, je joue à D&D depuis plus de 10 ans, à Dark Sun depuis 1996, et je suis vraiment intéréssé pour travailler et discuter avec d'autres fans (et pour parler avec des gens qui se trouvent à l'autre bout du monde ;) )
I shall have to reopen the pristine tower, and see what can be done! Let me see... (remember: this is politically incorrect humor ;))
Murkaf - Because of your Peruvian origins and lore, you shall be sent back there with a new goal: You shall reopen the acient Inca pyramids and remake them as monuments to the glory of Québec! All of peru shall flock to these temples to learn of the Belle Province and adopt our values. Those that will not submit to our unconsteted glory shall be sacrificed by your hand atop those very pyramids! Let the blood of the infidels run on the steps of our mouments, and pave the way to the coming of the BLUE age!
Arise Murkaf, 10th champion of Québec, the Peruvian Persecutor!
Kurkamor - Do not be saddened by your defeat at the hands of Grummore, for He is Champion and you are not - yet! When you feel the flame of genocide kindle in your heart (as we all do :D), then present yourself again to the pristine tower, and I shall make you live anew...
Pringles - A short comment on origins, but little on goals. But come to the pristine tower, if that is thy wish, and present yourself. I may have a goal for you...
Sgio Karka - Hmm... Un Corse, c'est ça? J'ai peut-être une idée, mais un peu plus d'info serait bien...
And so there are now 10 Champions of Québec, and candidates still flock to my tower! Bow down now, world, for the blue age of Quebec, and its Champions, is at hand...

Shei, remember the Dragon Kings book? The story about two brothers, two powerfuls fighters. The stronger managed to hide the defeat of is weaker brother and in the end, he had to kill him still? Yeah. hehehe Kurkamor is my brother
He sure as been defeated by the older brother :DJe souhaiterais donc y participer!! Je suis Suisse Romand (francophone donc -oui, certes, habitant actuellement en Allemagne... mais c'est une autre histoire) et je me ferais un plaisir d'éradiquer de la face de cette planète la partie allémanique de mon pays!!!
En fait, j'applique le bon vieux principe: "connais ton ennemi" deswegen lerne ich diese schöne Sprache...
Et puis au fait, ça a donné quoi cette partie entre québecois?
Pour le Champion Suisse, ça viendra! Patience! Et mon ex coloc-e était suisse aussi, en passant
Clique sur mail et on te demande alors d'inscrire ton mot de passe. Tu l'inscrit et tu a maintenant accès au emails du groupe.

:D :D .Non mais sérieux, vous vous jouer a 3e edition ou 2e.
Perosnnelement, je joue a ad&d depuis 1996 et jai jamais lâcher. Jai lue les livre de la 3e et ca ma déplue, ces trop guug enfantin fak jai rester a la 2e edition.

Although I was thinking more of doing something locally, around the Ottawa region, I don't think Rajaat's champions were able to negotiate which races they were to erradicate (like Dregoth may have tied to do, for those of you who have read my transcript of the last Sit-in at the pristine tower). Ah well, I guess I will begin my Persecution Campaign by mail. COD hehehe...
Your peers welcome you!

If faut avoir en comnte qu'on a aussi commencé a traduire darksun pour le portuguais (bien avant vous), alors on a le droit de avoir nos propres Champions... Est-ce-que Il ya quelque brésilien ou lusoparlant par ici?? Há algum brasileiro aqui no Fórum??
Je pensais pas qu'on était autant que ça à niaiser sur les boards de WOTC...
Long live Québec !
BTW, si jamais ça marche le projet de Dark Sun français, faite-signe sur ce thread-là, on pourrait peut-être se donner un coup de main, question de faire avancer ça plus vite !
Anyway, been fun reading, have a nice day

BTW, so never that walks the project of Dark Sun French, done signs on this thread-là, one maybe could give itself a hand, question to do to advance that quicklyer!

J'avais déjà pensé à ça avec un deux différents gars, à deux différentes occasions et le manque de planification ou de temps à eu raison de nous. hehehe Malgré tout, je crois que ce serait encore quelque chose de très pertinent à faire. J'ai mon site pour hoster le tout.
les anglophones n'ont pas la meme vision de ce jeu et je pense que la vision francophone ainsi que la langue française embellissent la philosophie et le fun que peut procurer une campagne de dark sun à la dur..... c'est tout
byebye
en tk j'ai jamais jouer à dark sun(juste jouer dans le domaine de kalidnay dans ravenloft) et je coris que je devrais essayer un de ces 4 ça l'a vraiemnt l'air interessant comme monde.
Je suis content de pouvoir communiquer sur le site avec des gens qui parle la meme langue que moi, car j'en ai un peu marre de toujours faire des phrase de 4 mots maximum en anglais. je suis sur qu'ils me prendre pour un newbee ou un gamin de 9 ans héhé.
Bref j'est decider desormais de faire le moins d'effort possible et traduirons qui pourrons! moi je pète bien le derch pour les traduire alors ce n'est que juste retour des choses!!
allez bye les quebecois et bye bye tous les autres (meme si vous parler des fois des langues bizard....^^
Any new French-canadian (From Quebec or else!) that would like to join the cleansing war?
Goddman canadians. Nearly as much fun as Kiwi's.
;)
It's a shame the Kiwi is going out of extinction.. used to be a very common bird, till people discovered how to manufacture fruits and shoe polish out of them... ahh well....
Heh, this post is funny (Shame it's getting bumped a year after the fact for me to find). I live nowhere near the border, I live in Vegas, but we get invaded during minor league hockey season.. Busloads and busloads of teams must I drive back and forth to the Ice... Oh the humanity... Eh!
At Rajaat's command I shall wait.....
: Smiles at the thought of the final mission Rajaat has entrusted him with :
PRONTO!
:D
But where are you from? (Curiosity)
Born and raised in Southern California. Born in Arcadia specifically, in a hospital somewhat across the street from Santa Anita (horse) Race Track. Grew up not too far from there, and only left SoCal for Vegas 3 years ago.

Been posting infrequently for some time now, but since you ask, I'm from Québec too :P . I live in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu near Montréal but comes from the Eastern Townships, specifically from Coaticook
:D .The Cleansing Wars still rages on...
The Cleansing Wars still rages on...
The new war is against the runts and I heard that they live in Canada with their silly hats! Prepare to meet your bane, Kalthandrix the Flayer of Halflings.
On another note- I have been to over 25 countries, 5 continents, and lived in Michigan most of my life and have never been to Canada!
I'll have to knight other champions it seems...
You have any preferences? Got most of the world covered, though I'm sure the world may have provided other things to wipeout since the Knighting began. The "terrorist Terrorizer" comes to mind...
Shei-Nad, 1st Champion of Québec, the American Annihilator, who has his master plan, getting Bush elected, twice, well under way... :P
I'm just posting to officially clme that I'm from the "la belle province" and that there should be more DS fans moving to the Sherbrooke region...
PRONTO!

Everyone should move to the right side of the Ottawa river... (that's the north side).

I lived in Sherbrooke during 4 years, so I learned some Eastern Townships terminology (Their buses are female. Yes: their public transportation.)

Or maybe have my players go against some other local DM's players, that would be awesome!!
)*Haha!! It will never die!!
:evillaugh
These ain't your run off the mill ordinary lightning bolts as any old timer on these boards can vouch for.
Hey Grummore, all us french canadians should throw a Darksun party sometime, maybe start a game or two one of these days ;)
Or maybe have my players go against some other local DM's players, that would be awesome!!
Last year it's been though about trying to do such game. But finally we didnt managed to run it. I would of course like this someday. It would be nice to, at least, meet with the peoples from board. Even Nytcralwr in US might have tryed to come. Nice isnt!?
Heh, pay for my plane ticket and I'll be there too. :P
Hey, if you pay the plane ticket, I will grab you to quebec or montreal and you can sleep at my home!
Maybe we should wait for summer to do stuff like this, and have us a good ol' Quebec BBQ!
My group and I always have some sort of D&D BBQ weekend at least twice a year during the summer. What better way for Athasian Quebec people to unite?
(I'm cooking if we have a BBQ) ;)
Cool Grummore, although maybe some of our American friends might freeze their backsides over here :P ....
What are you talking aboot, eh? It's all warm and cozy in my igloo. The only thing they'd have problems with is the beer... it's too strong, eh. There's also the language, eh. Lots of us frogsters speak French. And then, there's all the "eh" at the end of the English speaking ones, eh. It might drive them mad, eh. And the Maple sirup's too thick and sweet for them, eh.
Have a nice day, eh! :P

That's nothing compared to the polar bear in the streets stories I play on Americans. :D Probably the same ones who think Norway is the capital of Stockholm or an African country that buy into it.

I saw it coming from all across the Atlantic. Some furball, I didn't know who, would take the bait. Not surprised at all that it was you. :P

Gaaah! It's resurrected once again! Why won't you stay dead, you undead kank thread! *lightning bolts!*
Yeah, bumped it just to bug Jon. :D Well that's it ! 
And how do you feel about that last election?
Apparently most of the media here thinks you're all shifting to the right and loving our President because of the outcome of said election when I saw it as nothing more but a "throw the bum out" approach.
GO HARPER!!!! ( :evillaugh :evillaugh )
The only thing that bug me is the Harper 10 men he gathered in Québec and most of them taken to the Bloc Québéçois. Duceppe took Québec region as already gain and didnt made much presence there during the campaign... It proved to be an error.
Well, most of the peoples which voted for Harper did it maintly to remove the Liberal party. West canada (alberta, saskat, manitoba) is Harper peoples and tend toward right ala Bush.
Ah, so your "red states" more or less gained the upper hand this time around. Even so, I have a feeling that Canada's "right" is still pretty left, maybe even more left than the U.S.'s left, heh.
A few friends and I were specualting it was more of a "we're tired of the corruption, let's try this guy even though we disagree with him mostly but won't have to worry about it much because the NDP just gained another 11 seats" type of deal.

Yeah, Harper gained a whole 3 seats, that's not much to be bragging about IMO.
This sounds a lot like Bush's "mandate" he and the right felt the need to keep preaching about...
Who knew Bush liked dating men?
Yeah, so how many are you of the Bloc Quebecois party?
Not I. I ain't Red, Blue or Bluer... I'm Orange.
And how do you feel about that last election?
Figures. It's either a strategic vote or one that bases itself on revenge [out with the Reds]. Not many people vote out of convictions or opinions, I'm sorry to say.Apparently most of the media here thinks you're all shifting to the right and loving our President because of the outcome of said election when I saw it as nothing more but a "throw the bum out" approach.
Yes and we'll count on you Nyt to tell them how wrong they are. :D
No! Bush said he has not seen the movie ;)
Not I. I ain't Red, Blue or Bluer... I'm Orange.
They call that moderate here, heh.
That's pretty much the way it is here too, though it's more about how good the candidates make the average voter feel and less about the actual policies.
No wonder this country has issues, heh.
Yes and we'll count on you Nyt to tell them how wrong they are. :D
Freaking media over here needs an enema!
I was hoping that someone would get that one- doesn't anyone watch the news anymore!

I was hoping that someone would get that one- doesn't anyone watch the news anymore!
To be honest I didn't get it till this morning when they said something about it on my local radio station. Cracked me up when I heard it though.
I try to limit the news I get to mostly the stuff I read online, whether it is via newspaper, blogs, etc. (so I usually end missing things like that), every once in awhile I will watch CNN or catch the local news.
One of these days I will get satelite and get access to more of the indie news stuff.
90% of people in Quebec are left-wing and hate Bush with a passion.
Even Nytcralwr in US might have tryed to come. Nice isnt!?
One of these days I want to invade and hang out with you fine folk.
Problem is I'll probably never want to leave.
:D
I voted NPD.

Remind me not to take my vacation near you, Jon.
Oh, crud! I resurrected it again! :D
What, no lightning or flensing bolts? I had my insulated cut-resistant undies ready and everything. :D

Not even Texas is big enough to hide you from my wrath- I would not go to sleep tonight, or any other night. The Flayer of Halflings will find you and you will wish Jon had struck you down with lightning.
I'll be seing you soon

Actually Big Spring Texas isn't all that big. I use to live near that area. So taking in the general size of Texas compared to the general size of Big Spring, you will probably blink and miss it. :P
Sorry, been wanting to make a Big Spring joke since I saw where Ablamar was located last week, couldn't hold it in any longer.

Big Spring is a joke; no Gaming or Hobby shops, you have to drive 40-60 miles west to Midland/Odessa for gaming stuff/comics/etc. Bah.

I lived in the Midland/Odessa area for most of my time in Texas, it wasn't all that better (compared to Lafayette and Indianapolis anyways).
You could at least get some gaming going on in that area (Midland/Odessa) since there was nothing else to do, heh.
I lived in the Midland/Odessa area for most of my time in Texas, it wasn't all that better (compared to Lafayette and Indianapolis anyways).
It's slowly declining from some years ago, Nyt; there's only one Gaming store left and it mainly specializes in MTG. Ugh.

I've tried, but few if any people are interested in a D&D campaign, much less a Dark Sun, and those who are usually can't make the drive to Big Spring because of lack of gas money/job/time constraints, etc. Phhhttt! :D

So MTG did stay dominant, figures. We started playing that back in the day of Revised and I quit before 4th ed came out because it became a "whoever has the most money wins" sort of game and at that point I was working minimum wage jobs and broke most of the time.

Have you noticed that D&D's getting the same way, almost? Whoever has the biggest hernia from carrying all those books wins? :D
I know this thread has drifted from it's original subject, but I had to let you guys know...resistance is futile....:evillaugh
Malheureusement, je demeure à plus de 2 heures de Montréal (Disraeli), alors une game régulière serait difficile pour moi. Cependant, si tu te trouve un groupe de Dark Sun, je pourrais peut-être venir faire un tour une fois ou deux, si ça vous tente. Envoyez-moi un message, si ça marche.
Bonne chance!
English Version
Sadly, I'm about 2 hours from Montréal, so a regular game would be difficult for me. However, should you find a Dark Sun group, I may be able to come play with you guys once or twice, if you'd like. Send me a message if it works out.
Good luck!
They don't speak french anywhere near here.
Darn Grey Barrier! :P
Come now, Ral of Tyr, that isn't right. You can't use that picture to describe us looking at America:
In that picture, Rikus is looking at the huge, well equiped army of its neighbor, a militaristic, supremacist nation ruled by an egomaniacle, warmongering despot, invading other people's lands to occupy their capital and take control of their most valuable natural ressource.
I just can't see how that applies...

Your comment is in poor taste, leave your politics at home and off the forum.

You did know I was reffering to Urik, right?
Your comment is in poor taste, leave your politics at home and off the forum.
For all we know he might have referred to the Washington electorate of yore, doing in the Indians a 150 years ago. History is never in poor taste, only out of fashion.
I see you're from Sioux City...? If I'm ever in Iowa I'll stop to check out the Sioux City Public Museum. Biggest american collection of Indian artifacts.
Real-world politics have no place on an RPG forum.
You might want to check out the rest of the thread. You'll see it was always quite political, though always humoristic in nature. You'd notice, among other things, that my titles include "War-Bringer" and "American Annihilator". Please read the thread and your Dark Sun timeline to avoid being offended.
One final comment on this:
I was indeed describing Urik, not America. If you could see common elements, I'd be far more upset and worried about that fact than about me pointing it out on a RPG forum...
But in any case, back to RPGs!
I love reviving dead kank thread!
Haven't played Dark Sun since 4e, and not really sure the conversion would be so easy to do (I home converted 3e and didn't use Athas.org's, not sure I want to try that again just yet with this system).
How about you guys?
Y neige encore, barnak!
And Shei-Nad, what about my Swiss-french Champion title?
