Ok, so what's the difference between this German version and the original that it needs to be translated, instead of just re-releasing the original? I loved the idea of the original, but never used the system.

The main difference is the used rule engine. I think Ubiquity works great with Space: 1889. The setting information of the german version is a mix of some translated parts of the original Space: 1889 and lots of new stuff.

Hi,

i'm Patric Goetz, the publisher of the new Space: 1889.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask, i try to look at this thread regularly then

For regular news, updates and some previews of the artwork, you could visit our new FB-page for our english games, which you will find, if you search for "Clockwork Publishing" on Facebook (i'm not allowed yet, to post any links her )

Regarding the main difference between the old and the new version - yes, one difference is of course the new ruleset. But another main difference is the much more extensive background information about earth and the rest of the solar system presented in the book (which of course is true to the original, with the exeptions of one or two changes done by Frank Chadwick himself)

We are currently working on the german venus sourcebook, by the way

Is it compatible with other ubiquity games? Especially HEX?
