Special Modifications! Technician Career Book Announced!

By Dr Lucky, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Oh dear folks at least you can allready buy it in you language...

we poor German Star Wars players have to wait´for a translatet version... maybe until Star Wars VIII - Forcy Islands comes out... or something like that...

so... I´m afraid I´ve to stock my library up with the english ones...and then have to translate them so all my players can understand what I´m talikn about...(at least the crucial parts like equipment, droid building, weapon smithing and so on...) <_<

Us Dutchies work with English books all the time. Our games, however, are strictly ran in Dutch so we are used to translating on the fly...

Norwegians tend to go norwenglish... it's a problem. It's just that some stuff sounds really, really silly if you translate it... ridiculous doesn't begin even cover it. Like Force powers = kraft krefter --- which doesn't sound good at all (you could arguably switch krefter with evner, which means abilities, but still...) and of course the mispronunciation of kraften (the force) as kreften (the cancer) ... hilarious... right? :ph34r:<_<

So yeah, villains monologuing in Norwegian ... usually too funny to take even remotely serious. But then it becomes slightly pretentious and funny (in a different way) when the GM (or player) switches over to English... so linguistically confused is a good label on my group - and most of the groups I've had for the last 7-9 years. [derail complete]

I love this book by the way, I realised I had inadvertently given my group a workshop - although I'd provided a better boost die deal, but am now changing it to fit the guidelines in SM.

As for Savage Spirits, my best guess on a release date is May 19, at the earliest. It needs at least 40 days "On the Boat" (I've not seen it take less than six weeks, but i have seen it take longer) and another 16 shipping, which puts us at May 12 by itself. I don't know how long printing normally takes, so add on the printing time to May 12, and then move it to the closest Thursday, and that's your release date.

FWIW, using the above information, 2 June looks to be the new estimated delivery date for Savage Spirits.

Presuming a 7 April "On the boat" date.

Yep, that's my current estimate (the "On the Boat" day was actually 6 April, but close enough :P ).

Which is disappointing, because I have a Seeker in my current campaign and I wanted to give him more options before the end of May!
