Casting Shadows

#RPGaday is about sharing great and positive things about our hobby with the world. We cannot do that as well as we would like if we only use the English language. If we are to reach as many people as possible, and to start as big a conversation as possible, what we need is translation into other languages.

Are you able to translate the questions into another language?

Leave a comment here with a link to your translation, or contact us at the RPGaDay Facebook page!

This goes beyond translating the questions from English into other languages, though. What will really make this year special, and help everyone share with everyone else, is for people who are fluent in more than one language to share some of the cool things that people are saying in their answers, and to translate them into weekly recaps and reports to share with those who use other languages. Share and make recaps of responses in English with RPG fans in your native language, and share and make recaps of responses of the responses in your native language with people who speak English.

We all share a passion for gaming.

Many of us feel alone, or that the games or style of play that we like are liked by no one else.

One thing that #RPGaDay shows us clearly is that we are not alone. All it takes is a simple response to a daily question, a simple hashtag, and a quick search and we can find others who enjoy the same things that we do, all over the world.

If you can be a part of helping that to spread even further, please consider volunteering a translation of the questions.

If you can, please consider sharing weekly recaps of cool responses in your native language and in English.
