Well, I figured this board might also have some people who find use for this...

The German versions of Arsenal and Augmentation contain some extra gear, which unlike the old and somewhat infamous German-only gear was actually developed in cooperation with the American publisher and got (had to get, matter of fact) CGL's approval before printing.
Unfortunately, the plans for making these extras available to people across the pond never materialized. So in a random act of kindness (and to brush up my LaTex skills :D) I made a little PDF containing all that extra stuff, hope you will find it useful: http://www.scribd.com/doc/57595963/German-extra-content
EDIT: Changing hosts currently, check out http://forums.dumpshock.com/index.php?showtopic=35605 for updates
EDIT2: OK, looks like it will be pdfcast. The new link hereby officially is http://pdfcast.org/pdf/germanstuff

As usual, please tell me if you find any errors/typos/whatever.

Unfortunately that's all I know, too. Tycho posted a list of proposed changes over on DS, but so far I've not seen a list of all changes which did indeed make it into the book.

As you might have noticed, there are links to those pics I found in the pdf ;)

Anyway, since scribd has decided that downloading a document from them should be more complicated than getting a filedump of S-K's mainframe, I have to head for a new host. Until I am sure what the new permanent host will be, best head to http://forums.dumpshock.com/index.php?showtopic=35605. I'll keep the OP of that thread updated with any new links

So, seeing as Bull likes it,  can the German gear be "official" for players in Missions?

:)

Since that gear has been built using the rules of Arsenal (no German uberweapons), it should be.

Why are people going German errata this, German errata that? The simplest answer to this to me is to just go by this: The German errata is not released here in America, and thus it does not apply to those of us here. See? Simple. No need to learn another language or hunt down all sorts of foreign book copies or anything like that.

Because the German errata corrects problems that have been in the English releases since its launch and we're long overdue for erratas for a number of English books. They also add content that has been approved for release by Catalyst but never gets distributed to the English player base through any means.

Or maaaaybe we should expect the actual product developers to step up to the plate and do what a third party is already doing for them, or at least ask to use what the German company does and  CGL approves for pete's sake.
