I was digging thru Candlekeep & I come across this little gem of a proggy.

Add a little spice to your Rogue chat! Use the Thieve's Cant Translator! Download link at the bottom of the right column.

Someone's been speaking Thieve's Cant in Baldur's Gate...

I could have sworn Thieves Cant is almost 90% a bunch of gestures done with body language.

Most of that simply looks like low common.

The best Thieves' Cant:

Player A: Oi, mate! Where you been? I got gray hairs now.

Player A tell to Player B: "I found the information. It is a lot of information, and will take a long time to tell you about it."

Player B: Must-dos to do. Sorry to keep you waiting. You coulda gone bald, though. Unfit for a West Cordor party, that's for sure.

Player B tell to Player A: "The deed you tasked me with is done. I'm ready to hear every bit of information. Meet me in West Cordor."

Player A: Not my part of town. The best parties are in the slums. Got friends in low places.

Player A tell to Player B: "West Cordor is out. Meet me in South Cordor, in the Sanctuary of Sin."

Player B: Whatever, mate, gotta run. Seeya.

Player B tell to Player A: "See you there soon."

I alllllways hoped that shmevul rogue people did stuff like that, Yoss!! I wish I made an evil rogue sometimes. But backed with legitimate RP of making up their own sort of Cant, too. Ideally, they'd also RP all the code words that send those special meanings to each other. It's a little bit more lame, at least to me, if they just make random stuff up on the spot for it.

One of the neat things about the translator is...you can add your own words. Yep that's right. You can customize it to your own personal version of gibberish.
