Crowdfunding a (partial) fan-translation of the Japanese Dark Souls TTRPG with a Better Soulslike Bundle.

Hey everyone! So I'm gonna propose something a bit of an out-there idea. So I just ordered a copy of the Japanese Dark Souls TTRPG published by Kadokawa, it is around 300 pages, with a decent portion of that being non-essential "replay". When it arrives, I intend to digitize the Character Creation chapter, and foot the bill for a translation of those pages as a proof of concept. Obviously, paying for a full translation of a 300 page book is out of my price range, but it's very doable if we can crowdfund that with a bundle. 

So that's where I'm asking you creators to help me out, would you be interested in throwing your Soulslike game into a bundle to raise enough money to translate the bare essentials of this book? I'm thinking pricing a bundle around 20 USD, that's about a one page translated per purchase, with enough contributors, we get make the Kadokawa Dark Souls TTRPG accessible to English speakers.

The logistics of this endeavor can be ironed out in the coming weeks, I'd like to make sure there's interest in this before I commit to this fully.
