Hey, give us more info about distribution, publication, price and all (and maybe a contact address for those who might be interested in helping out). Are you doing some German version of Project Aon?

So, basically, you say that you own the rights to translate and publish the LW series in German? Wow, good luck to you. That's not a simple task if you are only two guys.

Hi there, and now I have also found this forum (hurra!!!) I´m the partner which Methos spoke about, did the interview with Joe and will be the publisher of the German LW Edition next year. If you have any questions - tell me on manticorshop@aol.com (oh and if you´re looking for rare RPG stuff or Gamebooks like signed LW books - call me also - you´re welcome!). |

Right then, I think it deserves a news item.
Edit: Topic moved.

Damn Methos, you are on fire. In a moment, you have show us an interview with "The Boss" himself and now you are doing a translation with a friend of Lonewolf book in German. Thats why you were absent during the last months on the board? Keep going dude.
EDIT: Hum...I mean boys.
