For those folks just now learning about the Sword World Kickstarter and were wondering what it's all about, I wrote a super-in-depth multi-part review of the fan translation which should more than whet your appetite: ccxp.info/sword-world-...

A grayscale drawing of the characters and some mechs from the Mechwarrior RPG and Battle Over: 3025 series, standing like in a group photo, with the humans in front, and the mechs in the back.
Cover of RPG Dragon issue 13 with Asuka hanging on Rei's back in a friendly way, as they wear school uniform like dresses.
The title page for Lecture 4 in their BattleTech series, depicting the Cyclops mech punching another mech, while in an inset we see the pilot looking determined.
A page from RPG Dragon showing some information on the BattleTech trading card game, with a small color cartoon in the bottom left corner, showing a redheaded longhaired pilot getting into a mech.
We reach the sad end of RPG Dragon, at issue 13. It shipped late, and was suspended, never to return. The MechWarrior RPG was completed in separate volumes. We get a final tutorial on melee in BattleTech, and a peek at the TCG! Evangelion!

2 page spread for the beginning of MechWarrior RPG replay part 5 from RPG Dragon magazine. The character Rebecca is holding a gun, and wearing a vest with belt buckles, pouches, and some grenades on a loop at her belt. Behind her is a character in a blue jumpsuit wearing some kind of goggles, shooting a sub-machine gun towards the camera, and maybe at Rebecca.
Cover of RPG Dragon issue 5 from May 1995, with Shadow Run characters drawn by Satoshi Shiki on the cover.
a 2 page spread drawn by Satoshi Shiki of a feminine Shadow run street meiji (magi?), wearing thigh high boots, some kind of thong underwear or bodysuit, a couple of leather sleaves on her arms (jacket?), has a yellow scarf flowing over her, but unclear where it's connected, and she's holding a staff somewhat gnarled on one end. The meji is standing in a very awkward pose with her right leg down and then leaning on her staff so her but is higher than her head, and she's not really leaning on the staff as much as she's holding it?
Issue 5 of RPGドラゴン is scanned and online. Come for Mechwarrior Replay part 5, stay for the exaggerated Shadow Run poses of Satoshi Shiki. Also, Sword World Chaos Land and a MAGIUS game design competition begins?

Ok so Sword World Rpg is being localized and the company doing it, has just created a YouTube channel. They are shooting for 200 subs. I hope they can reach their goal so they can share news here rather than their Facebook page.
