Maybe in a year or two that dream can finally come true.
I’m still working my way towards that goal, and getting closer. I dreamed that one day I could make an English RPG of my own. But the biggest thing for me was that when I was reading through the Megatraveller books at the age of 13 or so, I had a dream. Now I have maybe 6 shelf-meters of RPG books (plus a pile of board and miniature games on top of that). And we played a good few years until I got other RPGs in my hands. I read through the books during my summer holiday and when I got back to school, we started playing it. You could say that Megatraveller was the game that got me started in English RPGs. As I did not have any options, I took my English-Finnish-English dictionary in my other hand and Megatraveller in the other and started translating the books word-by-word. My English was not that good at that time (we start studying English in Finland in the 3rd grade), but I was very intrigued by all the illustrations in the game. I got my Megatraveller from my class mate when I was in the 6th grade, but it was all in English.
When I was a kid we had D&D and Runequest in Finnish, but no scifi RPGs at all. Why this is so meaningful thing for me requires a little anecdote. Megatraveller was the second RPG I’ve ever played. As an old Traveller RPG fan this map was a real pleasure to make.
