Sorry, yes! When I created Dieseldrachen, I was not planning for the international market, so for now everything is in German. If or when Ulisses Spiele will translate Dieseldrachen is unfortunately outside of my knowledge. But who knows, maybe I can translate some of the old PDFs at some point, please let me know if you are interested!

Yes, I sold Dieseldrachen with all rights to Ulisses Spiele in 2021. Ulisses Spiele now owns everything related to Dieseldrachen, and they will be re-publishing the game.

In the summer of 2022, Ulisses announced that due to economic strain, some layoffs had to be made. Therefore, the Ulisses team has significantly reduced in size, and understandably, they are focusing their efforts on existing products in this situation. Some product lines have been discontinued due to cost reasons, while others have been put on hold. Dieseldrachen falls into the latter category. According to Markus Plötz, work on Dieseldrachen will resume in Q3. My personal estimate is that crowdfunding will not take place until late 2023 at the earliest.

Yes, the good news is that Ulisses Spiele will continue working on Dieseldrachen in Q3 2023. With Ulisses’ kind permission, I will also release at least one more adventure as a PDF, so players don’t have to wait too long for content.

The idea is that under the publishing name Dragon Pulp Games, I can also release other products. This allows me to continue working as an author in parallel with Ulisses without infringing on the name rights of Dieseldrachen. This is necessary because I sold all rights to “Dieseldrachen” to Ulisses Spiele in 2021. Anything I can release in the future for Dieseldrachen will only be possible with permission from Ulisses Spiele.

I never released a printed version myself. Although I did make a test print for myself privately, I quickly realized that creating print products is quite complex. This was one of the reasons why I decided to sell Dieseldrachen to a large publisher at the time. With the new edition that Ulisses is aiming for, there will of course be printed products again.

Of course, only Ulisses knows that for sure. I’m only indirectly involved in the development. The last statement I heard was that work was paused due to a lack of staff, and it will resume in Q3 2023. I personally expect crowdfunding to start no earlier than late 2023. That is for the German version. An English edition is unfortunately not yet in the making.
