Hello everybody!!!

UA was published past year
in Spain, by a small new company called Edge
Entertainment (www.edgeent.com). They changed the
original cover for an horrendous one (the new cover is
only a fist) but they changed some of the interior art
for WAY BETTER drawings and edited photographs.

Greetings:
I'm Gustavo Díaz, and I am the translator and coordinador of the edition of
UA in Spanish for Edge Entertainment (I must confess that I rarely
participate in the list, but I have learned a lot from it). First of all,
I'd like to take this opportunity to invite you to participate in the UA
Spanish mailing list, where you will also find more ideas for your games,
speak with people familiar with both editions etc. (Everyone is welcome to
visit, although you just want to brush-up on your Spanish a bit or see for
yourself some of the changed illustrations that my countryman has
mentioned). Here's the address: www.edgeent.com/unknown/armies.htm (UA
spanish mailing list= http://es.groups.yahoo.com/group/UA_sp/)
It's Edge Entertainment, a publisher that's now not so new any more and has
been publishing games (and brainwashing you) since 1999. About the cover, in
the end it's just a matter of opinion, but we preferred a cover ilo that
would catch people's eye from a distance. We wanted the cover to be a symbol
that would help introduce the game to the uninitiated, and in the game the
symbol that appears on every page is a raised fist. We've always seen the
fist as a symbol of power, and curiously enough the subtitle of the 2nd
edition of UA is going to be: A Roleplaying Game of Power and Consequences.
But, again, whether you like the cover illustration itself is a question of
taste, but I'd like to make sure that nobody misinterprets you in one point.
The cover is well done and printed (we even printed a special run of 100
hard-cover books for the hard-core Spanish UA fans). We do like the original
first edition cover and we would like to use it in a future publication, but
we felt that it was more oriented towards the initiated than the general
public and decided to start our game off on a different foot.

Best wishes to you all from Spain...
Gus
