Sneak Peek at the German Space: 1889 RPG


Big news!

Uhrwerk Verlag has some sample art up on the upcoming German Space: 1889 role-playing game along with an overview -- in German, of course, but if you use the Google toolbar translating program it can easily convert the web page to -- well, maybe not English exactly, but sorta close ("Who Space: 1889 is not yet known: This role-playing adventure into between steam, air and adventure!") Hmm. Let's call it "Googlish."

. It looks as if the core rules will ship in July and the Venus worldbook is in the works to follow soon. I've previewed some art earlier and everything I've seen so far for this game is top-notch. As I mentioned earlier, if the German edition is well received (and it looks as if it will be) there's a very good chance of an English-language edition to follow.

Here's the link to the Uhrwerk Verlag announcement. Go take a look.

  1. For people who don't know Space 1889 yet: This roleplaying game leads to adventures between steam, ether and aventure!

    Yes, they said adventure twice.

  2. WooHoo! Looks really good even in Googlish! The Germans do such great graphics work. I may pick up a copy in German just for the artwork.

  3. Uhrwerk started selling it on FeenCon last weekend. I couldn't resist buying the limited edition (see http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/07/17/s_777.jpg ). Played it the same evening with my group. All loved it and we are now moving from FUDGE (Terra Incognita) to Space 1889. Great Setting, great rules!

  4. What's the game system? Original S1889? I heard they licensed Ubiquity the same system powering Hollow Earth Expedition from Exile Game Studios.
