Thanks for the manga recommendations. A lot of great stuff! Basically, I needed some reference material to help the layout folks come up with a feel, an inspiration, of how the English version of the book should look and feel. So, it’s been about a week since my last update. Here’s some bits that are [...]

Need English Language Manga Recommendations!
Posted: 20th August 2010 by Diamond Sutra in General, SettingSo, with what you know of Tenra, what you’ve seen or heard… What sorts of English Language MANGA would you recommend of the same feel? Drama, conflict, and action. I can think of a hundred anime/J-dramas/movies, but having a hard time on manga. Recommendations please! Manga, Manwa (Korean), Chinese manga/comics, anything is fine. Off the [...]
This is the last page of Tenra that is left untranslated. After this evening, that will no longer be the case. Editing is 50% done, the rest will be complete after this weekend. And after GenCon? …Phase Four begins.
…I figured they’d be, but wanted to give folks a heads up. Here’s the GenCon official Tenra RPG events going on at GenCon: http://gencon.highprogrammer.com/gencon-indy-2010.cgi/type/RPG/Tenra_Bansho If you are going to GC but didn’t get a chance to get in a game, hit me up in the comments thread with your email, and we’ll see if we [...]
Behind the Scenes: Keep your data safe, and your architecture strong!
Posted: 1st July 2010 by Diamond Sutra in General, TranslationQuick aside: Folks have been asking “Tenra: When will it be ready? Is it even coming out anymore?” The answers are “soon”, and “absolutely, barring death.” My next post I’ll be addressing that. Also: Thanks to Guy Shalev, for finding me a kick-ass theme! For now, just a quick behind-the-scenes. I have a career! My [...]
Hey, we’re a Facebook group now! Look for “Tenra Bansho” in a Facebook search. So, as the final bits of editing of the game draw to a close before layout begins in full, I find myself wanting to post more about the game but without the time to do so. The classic conundrum of, “I [...]
In between finishing up the last few sections of the book pre-layout, I’ve been running games of Tenra, both locally for my own game groups, and at conventions and the like. It’s been fun, but also a real lesson for how the game should be run, played and some pitfalls that can happen. Here’s a [...]
The Bad First: Later than I thought. February 2009. The Realistic: This is a Hard Date, and Attainable. And worth the wait, because… The Good: I have a Motherfucking Superhero pegged to do layout and put the book together. The book will be so hot, it will make your eyes burn. The Other: There will [...]
Tenra Talk : Interview One : Ewen Cluney, Translator
Posted: 18th February 2008 by Diamond Sutra in General, TranslationHi all, this is the first in a series of interviews with people working on the English Tenra Bansho project. Today we’ll be asking questions of one of the core people who helped translate parts of the game (of which is currently now being put together, localized, edited and the like), Ewen Cluney. Without further [...]
Listen. And understand. That translator is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you have the game in your hands. Last night I sat down to do an hour or two of translation, supplemental [...]
