The subject header is from the opening page of the BW book.
What does it mean?

My high school Latin is pretty rusty, so I might get it wrong. But maybe it will serve until Luke comes along:
extra rotam nulla salus: Welcome! Beyond (or Outside) the Wheel is (or there is?) nothing.

My Latin is rather nonexistent, but I would have it as "no safety/prosperity beyond/without the wheel."

I think it translates as "Outside the Wheel, I am a dork."

I think it translates as "I'm Pete and I have no life outside of Luke's game."
Fixed your post, Pete.
There is no salvation beyond the Wheel
It's a bastardization of the old catholic church terror dictum: extra ecclesiam nulla salus. There is no salvation beyond the Church. Meaning, there's no hope for you, but me.

"Burning Wheel, where are you from,
New York or Norway or maybe Poland,
Well I didn't know it was the promised land,
but I believed from the moment the dice left my hand..."

And I thought it translated as "Big wheel keep on turnin', Proud Mary keep on burnin'."
I was wrong.

"Wheel in the sky keeps on turning
I don't know where I'll be tomor-oh, oh-oh-oh"
I hate that band.

You mean it isn't:
Outside of the Burning Wheel, a book is a man's best friend.
Inside of the Burning Wheel, it's too hot to read.

With apologies to the appropriate parties.

You can't have this thread without the ultimate Burning Wheel:
(translated from the original Dylanesque):
This wheel's on fire,
Rolling down the road,
Best notify my next of kin,
This wheel shall explode!
