Here, here!
We play in a curious mix of italian and english. The descriptions and talks
are all in italian, while some word (like Target Number or Target) remains
in english. Also in english remains all names either of gear or people and
some other like Armored Jacket (didn't want to translate this to Giubbotto
Antiproiettile, looks too much like the one our police wear sometimes :)
Anyway, at the end of august an italian traslation of the SR2 rules and the
SSC will be available at our stores. Maybe I'll get it, just to see how they
manage the translations.... I've already seen Metroplex translated to
Megaplesso, sheesh..)
Bye, Paolo
PS: I'm reconverting the Archive. Could someone please check if all the
links are ok?
On the subject of postscript files:
In the beginning the net was a unix-only thing. Everyone had a postscript
printer near their desk and PS was a laguage of choice for sheets and maps.
Now things are changing, PCs and Macs are more common than unix boxes and
postscript printers are not more required to print everything. While I
mantain a good degree of control over the contents of the Archive, I can
translate postcript files to another format, more suited to today's
computing environments. Any suggestion on which format could be used? (No, I
don't own an Adobe Acrobat Creator :)
