So BARBAREN! will be in English, but not self-published
Frank Tarcikowski:
The German version has been selling quite well so far, for a hippie game. I've got two long reviews on websites and one in a fanzine, all of them full of praise, which by German standards isn't bad at all. Some of this is surely owed to having a professional publisher (as professional as they get over here, anyway). I guess a few adds in some Mongoose titles won't hurt either.
One thing just occurred to me: Is there a problem with the artwork in the US? It's got some bare breasts, severed heads and other distastefulness. I am very proud!

You should be! Will you run into some conservative types who won't buy the game because of the boobs and blood? Sure. But you'll also have an audience looking for just such "distastefulness." It all depends on your target audience. For example, I don't think the cover is any more risque than some other games out there.
Frank Tarcikowski:
Yeah sure, that's just like in Germany. However, my European bias made me wonder whether there might be an Anti-Nipple-Law in America, or some such.

Emily Care:
Congratulations, Frank! I look forward to seeing the game, and hope the collaboration goes well for you. I think the Anti-Nipple Law got repealed at some point, but keeps being enforced by social pressure. :)

Hi Frank, I won't be hitting gen con this year (poor economy and 3 years of horrid personal and professional luck.) I helped on the current edition of "Barbarians of Lemuria" by Simon Washbourne. Right now BoL has been picked up by Cubical 7. It's a Sword & Sorcery game and I'd recommend checking it out for the inevitable "compare and contrast" sales job you may have to do for potential customers.
The current edition of BoL has a french artist so boobs are there, not much blood though. Be sure to let us know where to buy an english edition when "Barbaren" comes out.
Good Luck, Keith
