I'm a student at the University of Ottawa, currently working on a degree in Translation (into French).
I have a project to do in a terminology class (that is the study, writing and creation of terms) in which we are asked to create a couple of terminology records in a field of our choice, that it must not have been already covered by the two major Canadian term banks.
Essentially, I need to find terms that nobody important ever bothered translating in French, translate them, and publish the research and the record. I've chosen as my field of study RPG design.
Which brings me to the reason of this post. I'm looking for essays and discussions on the concept of "color" in roleplaying game and was wondering if the good people at the RPG theory forum could help me out with some research.
I do have to say I'm enjoying scurrying around in the Forge's archives, during class, and not being a terrible student.
