Why do you hate elves so much?
>>50984831
fuck off elf
They won't have sex with mewillingly
>>50984831
Dark elves and their dark dragon allies brought a horde of barbarians(orcs ogres centaur) to devestate the human goblin halfing and dwarves nations which caused centuries of death and destruction and led to another human nation going down a dangerous path
The high elves are playing chess master with the human goblin halfing and dwarves nations while potentially pissing of the titans which could bring their wrath down on everyone
So yea that's why
>>50984831
I don't hate elves. I hate you
>>50984831
I love elves, I just hate faggots that make shitty bait threads with them, like you.
>>50984831
because elves are either I'm better than everyone, or I want to fuck everything
>>50985000
okay, why?
I'll story time the Dungeon of Naheulbeuk....
>>50985159
A good start
I'm doing the translation, my English is rather basic since I'm French Canadian
>>50985159
Way to fuck up a storytime thread.
On the other hand, you're going god's work with the translation.
I'll post the original French pages, then I'll post translated English pages.
>>50984831
Because idiots like you fanboy for them so much.
Though I hate Tolkien fantasy period. Why do all Fantasy settings have to have the same collection of illogical Meta-human races? Are we humans not varied enough?
In b4 "Because giving black men separate stats is racist."
I don't I just wanted infravision like the elves, but it's more than just taking their eyes
I can't really translate what the Magician says here.
>>50985408
This... is a shockingly accurate depiction on how the average roleplayers handle eating at a tavern.
Refuse to pay (for n particular reason) and end up killing everyone...
Its the elf players
>>50984831
Fetishists and waifu scumbags rubbing their cocks all over them. They're tainted.
I tried to fix a few mistakes that I only noticed after I posting it.
>>50985384
>Are we humans not varied enough?
You don't need to argue against an overdone setting via a terrible argument, dude.
damn these are some extra degenerate adventurers
>>50986179
No more translation?
>>50984831
Off all the races of fantasy I must say
That my least favorite race is the elf
I'd rather have lunch with a fat ogre
Than to spend one moment with an elf
I'd rather take a slime to prom
Than to toast to an elfs self
They're tall and weak and awfully skinny
And of this you must be sure
That elves are the sickliest thing around
And sadly there's no cure
>>50986318
oh working on it.
The ranger uses a word-play in French but I'm not really sure how to translate it properly and the meaning is lost in the translation.
>>50985229
Did they go to that tavern to crack open a bear?
>>50986517
The joke is that he said something he shouldn't have say and has to come up with a similar sounding sentence to cover his ass. Very hard to translate indeed, you would need to find an English sentence that sounds similar to the translation.
It's a very classic François Pérusse joke, who was one of the main inspiration for Naheulbeuk. It was originally in a similar radio format.
>>50986829
Funnily enough, that joke doesn't exist in French.
Time to be pedantic!
>>50985229
Not sure about the translation of the "mais non...", he's saying that taking the full bear was fine.
>>50985408
I would translates "On t'en pose des questions?" by "Do WE ask questions?" I guess.
>>50985441
shittiest BG character detected
try Xan
so dark in here
Because invariably they fall into one of three categories in every fucking setting that has them, and they're always assholes. I have the same issues with dwarves, and practically every other fantasy race out there.
I can give SOME props to Dragon Age and The Witcher for their portrayals of elves, but not much, because they still rely on these stupid tropes.
But God forbid you try to make your own races, or go human-only. That's like a prime sin in the world of fantasy. Not even GoT can change that.At least elven women are qt as fuck.
>>50987425
You make me want to listen to the saga again, just when i started reflet d'acide.
>>50987600
Game of thrones is absolute shit-tier. It has nothing to do with it being almost all humans, it's just shit writing.
>>50985159
This comic's artstyle is fugly.
>>50988219
si t'es pas content tu peux te casser.
so, what words do i need to put in google to get porn of that elf?
awwww shiiieeeet
putaing ça fait au moins dix piges que j'ai pas lu/écouté le donjon!
>>50989097
probably "elf" "dungeon" "naheulbeuk"
>>50988987
Replace plan with map.
>>50988465
and death with dead.
>>50985761
>gratgrat zoulaga
>>50986550
>DM drops a fucking lich on the guy who wants to leave the party
classic
>>50989097
good luck with it, it used to be a common joke that it didn't have any
>>50989387
to be fair, it was only a "joke" lich
I don't have all the original details but from what I can remember, it was because this lich only wore socks when real liches & nazguls get sandals
Yeah, it's weird, but once again, I can't remember everything
>>50984831
Have you heard of the High Elves?
>>50989838
Not much.
>>50990215
Oi mate, shouldn't directly use one with the translation it must exist no, PoC is kind of a big thing.
>>50990307
*shouldn't **YOU**
>>50986719
You missed the joke hear being that the ranger repet a sentence that sound like what he first said but is not "this elf is hot" thingy
>>50990307
Not him, but there hasn't been a single translation for all of this era of french mp3's & co
It's understandable for stuff like Reflet D'Acide that is impossible to translate, but unforgivable for everything else
>>50990368
heh still we go it. it's a shame for non-francophone though.
>>50984831
Because weebs keep fetishizing them at the table.
>>50990215
you should replace "you're making me walk" with "You're joking, right ?"
and remove the "a" from "a less than nothing"
>>50990546
thanks, I have the fixed pages. I might upload them all on dropbox later for the full thing, once I'm finish translating all the album.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/md6poc7x9yto373/Donjon%20de%20Naheulbeuk%20album%20scan%20tome%201.zip?dl=0
here's the first tome scans. I posted it on /co/ the other time.
>>50990828
Can you link the /co/ thread ?
Personally, I hate the kind of hippy attitude written to them. When they live in harmony with nature because they have magic power and look down on less privileged for not having magic powers. Although it would make sense in-universe, writers often use them to bash their fellow humans in real world for not living up to writer's made-up standards while their suggestion is "gain magic powers"
>>50985384

Should add "monster" after "in front of an enormous" and probably "here" before "I come"

>The Dwarf: "It's genetic"
I should grab the rest of the comics, take phone pics and translate the rest
Cause writers and artists keep making them petite looking and all using bows.
Elves should never use bows.
They can use artillery or those huge crossbows.
But otherwise Elves come close quarters with their superior size, strength and speed.
They use spears, greatswords, shields and AOE magic.
>tfw Witcher 3 is the only lore since Tolkien that makes elves right.
Heard Warcraft does it too.
The elves that do use bows and stealth and are smaller than humans are "dark elves", cause they have lost their "holiness"
>everyone got it mixed up.
>>50991999
LOTR races all had a logic to them. They all drew on folklore and sociology. The nonsensical stereotypes in those Forgotten Realms novels have much more to do with Gygax than Tolkien.
>>50992613
since he's eating, I'll translate this one on his behalf
>>50992692
Yeah, it gives a really good impression of the + INT race.
>Donjon de Naheulbeuk
>on my /tg/
More likely than you think
Also, OP, stop using google translate blindly and look at the context a little. When they opened the closet and found a broom and a "seal" it should be a bucket. The french word is the same for seal and bucket, but it makes a difference in your translation. I didn't bother reading the rest, but I am sure it could use a one over.
That being said, thanks for exposing the anglos to this fantastic shit. I love you criss de tabarnak de quebecois de marde.
>>50992792
Replace Gygax with Greenwood.
>>50993007
I knew instinctively that "seal" was probably not the right uses, but I was just forgetting the meaning of "sceau" to "bucket" I'll fix it.
Here's my present to the current translator
one less to do !
>>50993142
Some would call you a "sot" (pronunce like so) ^^ (meaning non very intelligent, kinda high language)
>>50992815
in naheulbeuk, all races act as more or less parodies of themselves
The elves are pedantic yet massive autists
The humans try all the time to be heroic but fail massively
The dorfs are dorfs, turned up to eleven to do stupid shit all the time (one of their folklore hero is revered because he painted "bitch" on the shield of a rising litch lord)
>97 replies
>no mention of fucking Feanor
Ya'll motherfuckers need to understand some shit about Feanor, he was basically the best at everything but he was such a raging cock that wasn't good enough. He was an ungrateful shit that thought he was better than the Valar themselves even though his greatest creation just managed to capture the light of the Two Trees, which were made by the Valar. He didn't even make the fucking light, he just took some and put it inside a bauble and tramped around like he was the best. All he did was manage to take a fucking picture of the most beautiful thing in the world.
Then the Trees were fucked and Feanor, the king ass himself, could save the fucking day and actually deserve being called the best guy ever by giving the light back, but nope it was more important that he own the only light in the world than give the light back to everybody.
He then makes a turbo oath to get back the baubles he made after Satan stole them which is literally the cause of every single fucking bad thing that has ever happened in Middle Earth at all. He then immediately gets fucking ganked and with his dying breath realizes he fucked up and he'll never get them back. But instead of repenting he looks at his seven sons and makes them fucking double swear the oath so that things can keep being fucked after he's dead.
Feanor is such a piece a shit that the entire average of the Elves is brought down by his very existence.
>>50993175
Un sot portant un seau portant le sceau du roi trébuche et l'étroit seau tombe
>>50993279
But you must understand that Feanor did nothing wrong.
>>50992815
In naheulbeuk basically, everyone in more or less an idiot, at least to some point. More importantly the elves are especially stupid and even more so the wood elves. I mean, in the story the wood elves literally mainly do "pony brushing competition" and "strawberry gathering contest".
Bonus point for the whole: when the elf gain a level they gain a point of charisma and if the elf is female a size of breast (leading to one suffocating when she accidentally last hit an epic boss, gaining numerous level and dying in her tunic (not this one)

It's so fucking true. Tragedy after tragedy after tragedy, some the realized while many others they did not and they still kept going after them even when they knew it was long past fucking retarded.

It would be difficult to show how the average Moronic-murderhobo PC acts without at least partially acknowledging the fact that many of their stupid ideas and actions are the result of players trying to work through, with, or around a set of game rules. And this comic's thing seems to be all about showing how idiot PCs must look inside of the world.
Reflets D'acide is the superior french audio-play.
But Naheulbeuk started the fad, which I am still thankful for.
>>50994762
Gonna check it out.
Thanks.
>>50993168
Tyranny would probably be a better word there than dictature, which isn't a word in English.
I mean "it's like a dictatorship" might be a closer translation but I think "it's tyranny" flows better.

I was wondering if I had to still go or just give up for some other time because I don't know how many care.

The problem with elves is that they exist to be proud. They are just slightly "more" than the average. More cultured, more beautiful, more intelligent. The ways they fail are in strength and brute force, but they compensate by looking down on the other races as brutes. Lore portrays everyone as just a little bit inferior to elves, and then says but no really work with these pricks, they cool. I like the Fair Folk idea of elves way better because they are not just haughty pricks, but haughty alien murderers. It justifies their pride as part of a complete disregard for mortals, rather than just making them the smug rich kids in the high school that all the races attend.
>>50985229
did you also check out "Reflet d'acide"?
It's similar to naheulbeuk.
>>50998922
Short answer?
Excuse for turbo-Mary sue bullshit at the table.
/tg/ answer
Find a /pol/ meme and replace a racial slur with the word "elf"
>>50999102
Ding ding ding!
>>50984831
Mostly the "I'm better than you for literally no other reason than because I'm an elf and you're not" bullshit attitude a lot of elves/elf players/elf fans display. That's really it.
It's a holdover from LotR (where it was legitimately true,) which D&D was based on, and was around even up until 2e. A lot of the hate for elves comes from remembering that and people who still hold onto that attitude.

You must not remember D&D 2e's "The Complete

and finally last page is here. I'm going to sleep.

And I'm thankful for that translation. Naheulbeuk is fun. I like it a lot. But the comic's art is terrible, no question. And I'm saying that with the whole serie sitting on my bookshleves.
You can like something and still acknowledge it's bad.

Keep a distance of at least ten feet!
Fuck you for bringing this nostalgia back.
Best interpretation of elves I've seen was in a campaign where high elves were portrayed as being basically Antebellum era Southern whites. They were fancy and believed in thier religious traditions, and view humans more as confusing, fast talking, trendsetting rabble rousers and dwarves as weird foreigners. Wood Elves were basically black slaves and drow were deliverance styled hillbillies.
