Do You Speak Sufeedak?

Our first guest post on Rising Phoenix Games is from a good friend of mine, the great GM, home brewer and scholarly gentleman MushroomAlien. MushroomAlien is one of those super intelligent guys who doesn’t make you feel like a moron when you talk to him, but rather like a bit of a genius yourself. He also has a cool user name. Please don’t get him started on Dungeons And Dragons Miniatures and how many times he has thrashed me at the game.

In virtually every pen and paper RPG, you will find a box or skill labelled “languages” somewhere on the character sheet. In most cases, the only time you would be requested to consult this box, is when your GM confronts you with the question, “do you speak west cobarian under-orc?” The answer is usually a simple yes or no, and in many games the issue of language becomes moot as soon as the negotiator in the party gains the ability to cast “comprehend languages”, or the equivalent thereof. Recently, however, I based an entire game session on learning a new language.
