Hi, the last ones I've seen back in November were a number of French versions from a seller in Canada. I think pretty much all of them hovered in the $5 range (US dollars).

These were:
Complete Wizard
Complete Elves
Elves of Evermeet
Complete Fighter
Complete Priest
Drow of the Underdark
Complete Psionics
Complete Gnomes
as well as the 2e revised PHB and DMG

I saw one German 2e PHB (1st release of it, not the revised as above) sell last August for 20 Euros.

Haven't seen much in Spanish or other languages.

Foreign Language stuff infrequently shows up on ebay.com, you will most likely find this stuff on the individual ebay for that language, ie german/french ebay ect.. It doesn't to to great apart for those that collect 1st ed foreign language stuff as ebay is obviously mostly english language orientated ...



ToT has seperate language forums so you might want to ask there as well..



Brette:)

If you want foreign language stuff go to Ebay Germany, France, Spain, Italy etc.  There is enough to drain your wallet for years.

Hello, try this search :

As you can see, the price is around 10 Euro but without bidders.

7-9 Euros is probably a good estimation.

I think I went perusing for Spanish versions a long time ago, but had trouble locating some. Seems like French and Italian are the most prevalent versions I've seen.

The one thing I forgot to mention if you do a search for the Spanish version is that the name translates to "Mazes and Dragons", instead of using the Spanish word for dungeon. "mazmorras" and "dragones" are the search words. Otherwise I think to the Spanish-speaking community it'll come out like "Jails and Dragons" At least that's all I could think of for translations when I was back in high school...

The other interesting thing I've noticed from the several French versions I have, and even going over to this site

is that the French, Italian and German editions all seem to use the English-titled logos for the game. whereas in the Spanish version, the logo was re-created for the translation.

When you guys in Europe talk about the actual name of the game, do you refer to it in English or is the title translated in your own language?

I can speak with some authority only for Italy (but I know for sure that in France the name Donjons & Dragons was used for a long time...). When the Frank Mentzer D&D edition was translated, the publisher decided not to translate the name because Dungeons was hard to correctly translate in Italian: the most similar world in my beautiful langage is 'dongione' which is NOT a subterranean set of corridors and rooms but the strongest point of a castle, usually the central tower. You can surely notice that 'dongione' and 'donjon' are very similar...  

In Italy usually - as far as I know - the game is referred simply as D&D or Dungeons & Dragons which is - as virtually every word in Italian - spoken exactly as written... This is not correct of course, educated gamers love to use the right English pronunciation, but it's hard to forget the way you speak words   and most gamers do it the Italian way  

I'm pretty sure that if Editrice Giochi has used Dongioni & Dragoni as a name instead of Dungeons & Dragons, a la francaise   , the name would have struck... After all it's simply a question of familiarity. I'm pretty against seeing games translated in Italian keeping the original English language names   but for D&D I can happily make an exception
