To be fair, the text is already in my language and there are several things I need to look in the FAQ for... Sometimes more than once

This. I cannot really see how a translation would better the issue of unclear rules. It'S not like the rules are going to be changed by the translators, are they?

Looking forward to the German translation. Myself I can understand the English wording and like to read the "original" text, but I know that we could better grow the community by translating the rules (not necessarily the stat cards). I already translated all the rules and wrote a German summary for our community and this helped to push the game very much! When translating I kept most of the English expression (Attack, Defense, Scheme, Action, etc.) that players get used to these expressions.

I think nowadays it would not be necessary for Wyrd to go through a local distributor - we only would need a German version of the rules and great Henchman to push the game ;-)

And.... yes translate please the Chronicles (and also the Podcasts I would place on the wishlist :-))

When I got into Malifaux this spring I made a lot of advertisment in our game group. But the most commen excuse not to beginn were the englich rules.

I think Malifaux would get a big boost in sales in Germany if the rules were available in german (and the miniatures easier to get, At my FLGS you have to wait aproximately 3 weeks).

Yes, it's the same in my group. The english language on the cards is very different from our school language. And that is a problem for some players. We all in our group are a bit older and have a familiy with kids. So playing a game must be fast and without translating difficult words. Time is much more than money

It's translated, just not printed and put out as of yet. Announcements will come soon as they are available.

 

End of the year is imminent , did anything happen in the meantime?

Are there unpredicted problems?

 

Personally, I don`t need a translated ruleset, but I`m pretty sure it would get us more new players, so I thought I`ll ask :)
