Dice!

[active_apathy]

This poll is probably most of interest to paper and dice roleplayers, but everyone should play. I'm curious to see just how many dice it's (a)typical for people to own.

Feel free to link or repost this poll in your own journals (by pasting "<lj-poll-1356329>" into an entry where you'd like it to appear), as more data makes the results betterer.

... dammit, now I'm going to worry over that in French. Fortunately I have many Luc Besson films to watch with subtitles on to find out.

No Shadowrun ever. I have fear.

The rest is pretty easy; 'deal with' is a fairly common idiom, and 'conserve ammo' should do nicely as a (nearly-)literal translation. I just can't remember "watch your back" ever being used in Kommissar Rex.

Ich habe auch Angst. Um. Try being the wise old gamer before being the crotchety old gamer? Be helpful to the neophyte? Panic?

[kittydesade.livejournal.com]

Yes. Whereas 'watch your back'... actually, being as the phenomenon of backstabbing is probably universal there should be a relatively easy equivalent. I suppose the hard part is figuring out what.

*wonders if the French dictionary has it*

Merde. Rien d'expression appropriée.

Pobrecita. Possibly? He's a sweet guy, just has fuck all for gaming experience. I suppose we'll see. That last one is looking good.

I can find a "be on guard", but nothing really back-watching.

There's only one way to fix a lack of gaming experience. I'm just not sure that's the right side of the table to be doing it from. Are the other players good?

[kittydesade.livejournal.com]

Hmm. All my German texts and movies involve more formal speech.

I'm fairly sure that's not the right side of the table to be doing it from. The boy and I are pretty good, other than that, I haven't met the other players. There is some 'ulp'ing going on.

As do mine, which is rather unhelpful.

I can imagine. Hopefully all goes well!
