Anyway, even though French-speaking people now have a French-language edition of Tunnels & Trolls, most published adventures are in English. This is not a problem since there aren't that many technical terms, and you needn't be a genius to understand which English term corresponds to which French one.
Spells, however, are quite a different matter. The English-language spells have zany names, whereas the French-language ones are much more serious. Compare Yerafrawg with Exométamorphose...
I hence provide a useful English-to-French glossary of spell names. French-speaking T&T players can refer to it whenever they are using an English-language T&T adventure or publication. Enjoy!
