Thanks. I have a recently relocated Quebecois player with a lot of SR experience. I will pass this on to him; he may be able to contribute.

No one likes a picky francophone.

yay! I actually read french (more or less)! Now all I need is for them to put out more of those dandy source books that 'no one in the US will want' that has world spanning effects, and will never be translated *cough*Shockwellen*cough*, but this time in French!
"Give us SR in French, or we will surrender!" |

Has anyone ever translated Shockwellen into English?
If it were in Chinese, I'd have a fair chance of doing it myself, but my German is...mostly nonexistant. |

My french teachers at school never saw me as a francophone. :D I don't think Schockwellen is worth translating. It isn't a necessary book after all. |

Black Book Editions has wrangled the license for French SR4 books so it is unlikely that they would publish older stuff (were it an economically interesting venture in the first place). However, they are working closely with FanPro D and there might be some surprises down the line.

Don't be sure about that. Games-In bought the licence for Earthdawn of FASA and they're only translating the old stuff - and even that at an awful slow rate... |

Red Brick Games is doing that. Or maybe they're differnet corps over here. As for Shockwellen, I keep meaning to, but I never seem to coordinate that whole time/money/remembering thing. But Penta offered to help, and I have a friend down in Texas that speaks fluent German. So if someone wants to buy it and make a group effort.... |

RedBrick has the english licence and Games-In the german one (tey're allowed to translate the old stuff into german and even write new books on german).
I've only seen two successful attempts to translate a whole sourcebook within a forum. |

Bug City: http://www.fanpro.com/forum.001/viewtopic.php?t=14058 It needs to be upated to SR4, but the translation is complete.
Shadows Of North America a completly translated PDF: http://www.fanpro.com/sr/film/Nordamerika_...en_Schatten.zip Both works had been done with permission of FanPro and using the FanPro-forums. |

There are actually two companies doing Earthdawn: Living Room Games is doing 2nd Edition, and Red Brick is doing Earthdawn Classic and also releasing ebooks of the old FASA products.

RedBrick will also release new books. The first one is an adventure called "Ardenyans Revenge".
LRG has been really quite over the last month and they even pushed back the relase date of "dangerous goods" several times. Seems as if they had been doing bad, finance/sales-wise. |

I did actually translate the last chapter into English, that sums up the whole campaign. There were some plans to put that up as web fodder at some point, but I guess now this is no longer an option. I should have that somewhere on my hard drive - I can't guarantee the quality, it's raw, it hasn't been proofread or edited, but the meat's there. If you want a copy drop me a line - and if I'm breaking any rules here please Adam let me know. |

I think I can be reasonably sure of what I'm saying. I actually spoke to the Black Book Editions reps back when things were being negotiated. I assume they might have an interest in System Failure but that's as far back at they intended to go. |

Possibly SoE too, for obvious reasons. |
