Goodman Games

I am not aware whether there are foreign-language versions of Goodman Games products already on the market, but I would like to know if you have thought of it.

Since the selection of available adventure modules in German is rather limited (especially for D20) I would like to offer to do translation work for DCC modules. I have studied translation and have already undertaken one project for White Wolf some years' back: TRINITY: SHATTERED EUROPE, translating the soucebook into German ("Europa in Trümmern"). So you can at least expect a certain quality in the work I do.

For starters, I would offer this as a "labor of love" since I like the DCC series so much. So, do you see any chance of this happening?

I'm glad you're interested in this, because it just so happens that we recently signed a translation agreement with a German publisher. Within a couple months you will be able to purchase German language editions of Dungeon Crawl Classics modules. More details to be announced when the products are ready!

Sweeeeeeeeet.

Sheesh... so I am too late, am I?
Well, that's good news, anyway! Could you reveal that publisher so I can approach them with a translation offer? That would be swell!

I'll make sure the German publisher sees this thread in case they wish to contact you.

Thanks a lot, Joseph. I appreciate this!

Well, I am more than proud to announce that I am now officially in charge of the German translation of DCC modules! Guess I am the lucky guy after all...

The first one to tackle is IDYLLS OF THE RAT KING. Already on it! So, wish me luck, fellow fans. Maybe Goodman Games will become a recognized company name in Germany as well...

Alright, IT IS DONE!

DCC #1 "Idylls of the Rat King" (German title: "Die Idyllen des Rattenkönigs") is finally translated and at the printer. Below you can see the German cover.

But this is only the beginning... I have begun work on "Into The Wilds" (German title: "Die Schrecken der Wildnis") and "Legacy of the Savage Kings" (German title: "Das Vermächtnis der Barbarenkönige") is also being translated. I am really excited about how it will work out...

I think this is great news for the German fans! Once the first translation is available for sale, look for direct links on the front page of our web site -- just in case anyone here wants to pick up the German version as well as the English one.

This is so exciting...

I'm glad that I am not the only one who is excited about it!!

I have begun translating INTO THE WILDS now, and I would be glad if I could direct any questions that might arise directly to you, Harley.

Sure thing! You can email me at:
