Title: German version of Dresden RPG on Kickstarter
Post by: Ulfgeir on July 09, 2015, 07:21:12 PM

Found a German version of Dresden RPG on Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1995366434/das-dresden-files-rollenspiel). In case someone wants to practice their German. The art seems to be different from the version published by Evil Hat.

Huh, interesting.

I wonder why they redid the art. That must've been expensive.

It's kind of become a thing with the evil hat localizations. Don't know why, just know that this seems to be happening with every product that gets translated.

you never know... sometimes art rights can be quite strange.
It might actually be simpler, and cheaper too, to have new art made, considering that the layout will be completely different in any case, due to the different text lengths in German.
I suspect that it will utilize a mix of old and new art.


I can only hope that they do NOT align their translation with that of the novels... because the German version of the novels STINKS... but they probably will.
Sorry... I'm just sad because the german version could have been great, and it was ruined by utter incompetence.
