Cut and Paste Translation/Tabletop Games

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Cut and Paste Translations in Tabletop Games include:

Card Games

  • Magic: The Gathering often changes card art and flavour for Chinese audiences, sometimes significantly, to avoid depicting skeletons.
    • Ironic, since the one with skin was a lot creepier...
      • This is due to Chinese laws prohibiting the display of bones to encourage positive behaviour in society or the like. World of Warcraft has its models altered for the Chinese servers (the exposed bones on the playable Undead faction are covered with skin) and has led to problems getting the latest expansion, primarily focused on defeating a giant army of Undead, past the censors.
