GURPS in other languages

[Thales7]

Hi, I'm new in GURPS and the publishing company that have the authorization to print the books in my country don't do that. I would like buy the books on demand my language, so I created this thread to know if there is more people that want this too.

I suppose it'd help if it was known which language was your language.

Portuguese, I'm from Brazil

Have you tried used book stores? We had this problem in Brazil before, yeah, I live here too. If they got the rights to publish, there's not much we can do besides learn english. It is a question of supply and demand. If there's no market, they won't print it.

[Thales7]

Well, I understand this, but I have a crazy idea: make a crowdfunding to SJG translate the PDFs to Portuguese and inspired people in other countries to make the same with owns language. But I need to know if there is people enough. So I create this thread to see who reply.

I don't think the people who needs translated books are the same as those who frequents this english forum...

I need and I'm here. And people know people who know people.

The plan is organize a on demand sell through a crowdfonding. If "X" people participate in this and the gross profit can pay the translate and the corporate's time, we'll have a new product in PDF.

Money isn't the only thing, though. You need a translator who can do a job that lives up to SJG's standards and then it'll need re-editing, layouting, etc. I can't see this happening - sorry. But I'm not an official spokesman. It's really Kromm you need to contact.

The Brazilian licensees may well have bought exclusive rights. If that's the case, SJ Games can't allow a separate translation-and-publication project.
