Right. And we still need quite a few hands (with dubdles of money in them)!

The German rules are already available on RPGNow.com - for $ 23.02 (down from $ 57.09) - the curious prices are probably due to the exchange rate of $ and €.

Yep, that is the translation. I posted your question on the German Tanelorn Forum - maybe someone from the publishing team gets here and can tell you more reagarding your question.

Oh, BTW: Here is the link to Startnext, the crowd-funding platform: https://www.startnext.com/runequest

Just to keep all the RQ6-fans up to date: The SPIEL in Essen saw a preview of the edition of RQ6 auf Deutsch! Well, "preview" is actually an understatement for a full translation of the whole rulebook in a crisp and shiny hardcover book with a nice book-band, excellently bound - I have to be chauvinistic here: It's a German Preview! Anyways, the preview title is not totaly misleading (if understating the beauty of the book) because the Runequest Gesellschaft e.V. - the non-profit publisher of the book - is looking for people to help them fund-raise German Runequest for good. They have already a GM-screen, Shores of Korantia, Ships & Shield Walls and at least one original German adventure in the pipeline (at their stall at the SPIEL they had the stuff right there for people to look-see) IF the crowdfunding makes good. After 20 years there finally a German edition of the game again - I am happy as a fat child locked in a candy-store over the weekend!

I own this map. You can get it as a poster (on paper) or on cloth. I ordered the clothen map. Easy to store and looks terrific! I don't knaow how much you have to pay for orders from out of Germany (it is a German company) but the costs for s&p were very reasonable and I waited for the package for maybe 4 days or so.

Everybody has the right to like or not like any game. You have also the right to tell other people what you like or dislike about a particular game or edition. There is nothing in the world that can make me like or dislike a game or edition of it nor should there be a "PC movement" that one has to subscribe to to tell the world that "I love the game no matter what". Because I maybe don't and I probably have a reason for not liking it. And most likely I can tell you my reasons and you might agree or disagree. That being said nobody should take away other people's fun and enjoyment of a game or edition of it by insulting or ridiculing said people, game or edition. Stay mature, civil, and all will be and stay well. And if you can't do that get off the net and play YOUR goddamn game instead of wasting YOUR ( and everybody else's) valuable dice-rolling time with behaving like an arsehat!

Merci!

When can we quaff Gin and feel the Hellfire? About hardbacks and PDFs: At least in Germany an increasing number of publishers (okay - two) have included codes for PDFs in their books. So you simply buy the book and get the PDF for free. I like to get a PDF because it makes things easier (i don't have to riun books with markers, can get the maps easily etc.) but I don't really dig them - I want dead trees! PDFs are a bonus, the book is the real product.

Any news on the last part of the Kingdon & Commonwealth part?

I have quite of few books of Colonial Gothic but I have never really seen the great accomplishment that using D12s has done for gaming. I find it rather akward to figure out what my chances are etc. Seems more like the idea to do "something totally new and different: Let's use different dice!" Other than that the material is pretty good - I bought the "French & Idian War"-spurcebook - a well-made addition and background to the adventures of Roger's Rangers. I hope to see more of these!

I am definitely looking into it. I would like a setting either devoid of any supernatural horror or with it being an option that is not required - I do love Cthulhu and Friends but I think it has gone a little bit out of hand during the last years. More realistic "horror" of the Five Points without any tentacles attached would be to my liking!

And now please also publish the last part of the SAGA (and tell us of the days of high adventure!)

I would love a WW1 setting, but I would prefer one that is not Dieselpunk or another Cthulhu setting with dardardly Germans trying to summon the Old Ones to get to Paris. That has been done to the death. Rennaissance big asset is historical roleplaying without or with downplayed "special" features - Clockwork & Chivalry is believable enough and some kind of a "weird war" setting but still very historical and not over-the-top. So, give me the trenches, but spare me ghouls and Reichswehr Wizards.
