Hungarian RPG now in English!
Good news! Gabor has published a rules light translation of his Hungarian role playing game Kard és Mágia which I blogged about here. Now I can take that long standing backburner project off the stove entirely. You can get Gabor's translation from here. I am sure Gabor did a much better job than I could, after all he actually speaks Hungarian ;)

Korva jo!
ReplyDeleteIt is usually against my policy to post comments in languages other than English. After all I do not want a blog that says "Buy male enhancement products" in Chinese. However, since this is a post about translation, I have decided to make an exception. Acording to Google translate "Korva jo!" is Finnish for replaced already. Hopefully this a comment on the lack of need for my continued translation effort, and not some Fin telling me I have a broken link on my web site.
ReplyDeleteI checked the links they're O.K.
ReplyDeleteCool! Is this the same Gabor who goes by Melan on various forums? Where can I find out more about this game?
ReplyDeleteBTW My guess would be that "Korva jo!" is hungarian for "Hell Yeah" :)

To get more information I would recommend clicking on the second "here" in the main post. It is linked to Gabor's Formhalt blog http://fomalhaut.lfg.hu He explains what it's about there. As to what other aliases he posts under, that's something I have no knowledge of.
ReplyDeleteP.S. While you are there be sure check out the post on what happened to the Necromancer re-release of Tegal manor. He reveals the long sad tale of woe.
Kurva jó = F.cking good (kurva = b.tch, jó = good, but we use "kurva" as a word of amusement)
ReplyDeleteAnd know you now why translation is so difficult, and that google translate is not up on it's mispelled Hungarian slang. Word of amusement is not a term you hear every day in English, but I kinda like the concept.

ReplyDeleteSorry for the confusion Mr. Imredave, I couldn't remember the proper spelling of kurva jo, but I did remember that the other formation (jo kurva) was inappropriate.
Kepp on rocking the Runes!
