Help translating Penumbra the role playing game PDF Print E-mail

Fellow roleplayer readers...

 

I need your help!.

 

This week I started the translation of Penumbra: the Gothic post apocalyptic role playing game, my idea is to translate at least 10 pages each day so I'm able to complete the translation within a month or so (about 190 pages without format).

 

What I need is someone, or much better a group of persons that are willing to read and review what I wrote to check that there isn't any grammatical error, that verbs are correctly used, that punctuation follow English standards, that expressions I used make sense in English and the like.

 

My problem is that I have an adequate English translation skills for some colloquial talk, and if I pay attention and do it with care probably a little more but the fact is that I want it to be translated in the better way possible and I'm absolutely sure that in 190 pages I'll commit a lot of errors (I did when I wrote it in Spanish... Suppose that will multiply in English).

 

I'm sorry I can't pay for the work, as you know at this stage still no one saw a penny from the work they did for the book, in deed the only one who got money yet was Spanish government for the formalities required for allowing me to publish the book... sick...

 

What I can promise is that I will give you as many credits as possible for your work. Ill include you in the official credits of the edition and then your name and link to your site (if you want) will appear on the book as well as any information about yourself or your professional work as long as it fits in a page or 2.

 

The book I'm talking about is a rule core book of a role playing game, that means it would be great if people involved in its translation knows something about role playing games, that’s not strictly necessary though.

 

So, if you are willing to help, please send me a mail to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and I will send you pages for correction as I´m writing them. The idea is that you read them and correct marking in red whatever you think was wrongly written so I can easily recognize the corrected text and place it back in place.

 

Thanks in advance for your help! And please help me!.

Greetings!! Today i come with a very special (and long) article, first because I have to announce that the Spanish version of my new gothic role playing game is released. If you understand Spanish or want to take it a look, you can download it for free from here: www.penumbra-rpg.com.

 

Then I have to introduce you to Tierra de Goticos, a Spanish Web site devoted to goth music that has helped me with this project. They have had problems with SOPA and MEGAUPLOAD closure, they deleted their Website too. Being Spanish didn’t helped.

 

And then you will be able to read the translation on the interview they made me about The project Penumbra. You will be able to learn about that role playing game.

 

If you want to know the details… ¡¡keep reading!!.

 

Today we talk about…

You know that from time to time I try to help people who is starting shops or similar inside the gothic scene. I suppose that it’s because I would like to be able to earn my money doing something similar so I can avoid the regular labor market and hopefully forget all my past bosses… Well, anyway, today we meet 2 Spanish girls that I think are quite original…
