[QUOTE="Jan van Leyden, post: 5528801, member: 20307"] After the WotC buy-out German board- and card-game publisher Amigo Spiele held the license for the German editions and hit the market with an ambitious wave of products in '97. Their handling of 3e was pitiful, though. IIRC the PHB was published in 2002, nearly two years after the English edition. During the 3.5 era, Amigo handed the license over to Feder&Schwert, who again started out ambitiously, translating Forgotten Realms as well as Eberron stuff. F&S also started to produce 4e books in '08, but their license expired just after publishing MM1. Since then, there are no new German D&D products anymore. Due to this the German RPG "Das Schwarze Auge" is the undisputed market leader. Rest assured, many German guys whose "dominance of English language" is dubious at best buy and use English books, while not necessarily understanding written therein. ;) [/QUOTE]
